Need some help with this...  I've managed to get LDGLite to work standalone
(i.e. viewing parts within LDRAW\Parts directory).  I seem to be encountering
some difficulty using it inside LDDP.  (I'm trying to get a preview within the
bendable objects generator.) Anyone have any thoughts?

Steve,

Thanks for using LDDP.  My question is: are you using the bendible objects
generator plugin?  If not which version of LDDP are you running?

Orion,
Running LDDP 1.54.  Using the bendable objects generator under the "process"
menu.  I believe it's incorporated, not a separate plug-in.

You're right it is incorporated.  I just wanted to make sure you were using the
most current version instead of v1.4 with the plugin that's installed from the
"Virtual Lego" book CD.

LDGLite (or any other renderer for that matter) doesn't work from within LDDP.
The rendering programs run separately and poll the model text every few seconds
(how many seconds depend on what you've set the poll frequency at).  Currently
LDDP isn't set up to have these external programs poll and display the bendable
object while you are creating it.  I can, however, add this to the list of
freature requests and add implementation in a future version of LDDP.
