Also, as I was reviewing the images from last night’s rendering, I noticed
some unexpected behavior with the BI BEGIN GREYED command. I have been
using it in conjunction with ML-cad’s Buffer Exchange, and I have one step
where only the parts inside the BI BEGIN and BI END pair are greyed out; all
other parts (including parts added in previous steps) are their normal,
unshaded colors. The steps before and after are both shaded correctly. I
then have another step farther on in the model where I use that command, and
all parts for that step and all following steps are shaded.
Are there any problems with nesting LPub meta-statements? I usually use the
BI statements inside a PLIST BEGIN IGN/PLIST END pair. Have you ever
encountered situations like either of these two?

PLIST BEGIN/END pair should not contain a step, rotstep or buffer exchange.

I’m sorry; I was not clear in what I said. I’m using a buffer exchange, and
then calling the PLIST BEGIN IGN and BI BEGIN GREYED pairs after I call the
buffer retrieve statement. I’m at work right now, so I don’t have my file in
front of me to get the exact order. I do know that I’m not calling any buffer
exchange commands inside of any LPub command pairs.

I’ve done some more investigating since I wrote the above. It seems that the
LPub meta statements don’t have anything to do with the behavior I described.
I’ve uploaded a
sample
.ldr file and the
LPub
config file that I was using, if you would like to try to reproduce the
problem. I’ve put the pictures of my results on
Brickshelf for
comparison once they are moderated.
Am I using the buffer command incorrectly? I’ve tried to find examples of its
usage, but I could be missing something. Thanks for any insights you may have.

| (...) In the 3rd step you are expecting the yellow 2x4 plates and the red 2x2 round plates to be greyed? But they are newly added in the step. To grey them you need to use BI GREYED. Kevin (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| (...) I'm rendering at 2048x1536, so the size that the step images end up at when the minimum distance is 75000 is different to that of the parts images when they are rendered at 640x480 and a minimum distance of 75000. No, I am not seeing it switch (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.cad)
