    Multi MPD scenes —Dean Earley
   I've looked through the LDraw download list and I can't find anything that seems to do this. Does anyone know of a utility to render multiple mpd files all together in a single "scene"? I know I can export all the parts then import them all into a (...) (20 years ago, 13-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad)

   (...) When you say "render" are you refering to in POV-Ray or seeing your models in MLCad? That I know of there is no utility to merge different .mpd files together.

        Re: Multi MPD scenes —Ahui Herrera
   (...) Niels you took my instructions out of content.

By doing step 2 and placing all the (...) (20 years ago, 14-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
