Hi Jon,
This is not very clean in LPub, but the Globe Camera stuff does not
affect
building instructions.


Yeah, that's pretty confusing.


One thing LEGO does in their building instructions is turn the
model, to make
the backside of the model visible.  MLCad provides ROTSTEP
meta-commands to let
us rotate the model while creating building instructions.

So what you want to do is to use ROTSTEP.


Ok. In MLCad I've added an absolute rotation step of 30,45,0 to the
beginning of my ldraw file. I've added a rotation end step to the end of
it.

When I try it now in LPub it crashes:

L3P failed for file module00_0_00.povcannot continue. Etc..

What am I doing wrong now?


As an aside, I'll be trying out the new version you just announced, I
just want to figure this problem out with the version I have first.


There are a number of reliability problems with the version you are using.  I'd
try the new one rather than wrestling with the old one.  It is undoubtedly an
LPub bug.

Kevin

Ok cool. I'll give it a go and let you know what happens.
