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 new mpd but it is a bit messy.

Thanks

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.

What I suggest is the following.

1) Move any and all .ldr,.dat,.mpf files that you might have in your MODELS folder to a tmp folder.

2) Export all the .mpd files that you want to use into the MODELS folder

3) Open MLCad and using the “models” tab drop & drag to create your scene.

4) Save the file (eg. final.ldr --- It will save as a .ldr file)

5) Open up LPUb and load final.ldr

6) Click on FILE --> Save as MPD

Lpub will create an MPD file for you!

But there's a neat "export" function in the file menu, where you can export .mpd's as .ldr's to a temp. folder. (...) (20 years ago, 14-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
