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.

Hi Kevin,
No, it’s not quite what I meant. I’ll try to use the images to describe the
situation.
Step 1:
Two bricks are added. Shading as expected (none).
Step 2:
Plates are added. Shading still as expected (previous step only).
Step 3:
Plates added in Step 2 are placed in final positions, and are not shaded. This
is expected, since BI BEGIN GREYED/BI END was not used. However, the two bricks
added in Step 1 should still be shaded; they are not.
Step 4:
Two more bricks added. Shading is back to what is expected.
Any ideas?
-Joel
