Another possibility is to increase camera distance. This effectivly renders the
images smaller. I used 50000 for ucogv.

I'll try it out.

It looks good.

Hmm... I'll have to look this up..... LPub should copy all the original files
to LPub/LDraw and release control of the original. I edit the original MPD all
the time while LPub is rendering, or just sitting there.

Yah, yha, yah..... I've heard that one a million times ;^)

Please look at LPub's help. It should pop up a HTML viewer and show you
LPub/extras/LPUB.html.
I refer to the step boms as PLI's (Part List Image). BOM's refer to the entire
model's Bill of Materials. PLIs are for a single step.
You want to look for:
LPUB PLI CONSTRAIN
