Hi Chris,

  I'll assume you are using MPD format, because you talk of importing.  Is this
correct?

  What tool did you use to go from LDraw file to POV-Ray?  Are you sure that
tool supports MPD?

  After you import model 1 and model 2, you might want to create a new top level
model that uses both model 1 and model 2 to compose a scene.

  If you are using LPub, the above paragraph should solve your problem.

You are right, I am using MPD.  The tool I am using is L3PAO.  I thought this
would work, but maybe it doesn't?  I've never tried LPub.

Chris,

  I've never used L3PAO, so I cannot say.

  In MLCad I'd try creating a new model in your current MPD that uses Model 1,
and Model 2.

  I'd use MLCad's MPD ordering menu to make sure your top level model (your new
model) is the first in the file.  Save, and try L3PAO again.

L3PAO is probably rendering the first model in the MPD (as it should).  Since
your first model is Model 1, and it doesn't use Model 2 as a sub-model, Model 2
is not rendered.

  By creating a new top level model containing Model 1 and Model 2, both should
be rendered.

(...) On a related Note, I should shortly be releasing an app that works with L3P and povray with a number of enhancements over L3PAO including being able to select which sub model to render. (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I must not be doing something right, because I tried it again. Here's what I'm doing. Model 1 is a "road.ldr" which is a grey, straight road plate and a stop sign on it. Model 2 is a "figure.ldr" consisting of a simple minifig. Here are the (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)
