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 steps that I'm doing:
1) What I do is load in "road.ldr".
2) I then choose Import Model and I import "figure.ldr".
3) Then I chose New Model and select a name called "New Test".
4) Now I've got the "road.ldr" and "figure.ldr" over in the window where the
pieces are under documents. I drag them both into the scene and put the figure
right where I want it.
5) In the "active model" window just above the 4 work windows (top, front,
right, 3D), I make sure that "New Test.ldr" is selected.
6) I save the new file as "Road and Figure" and it saves it as a mpd file.
7) I use L3PAO to load up "road and figure.mpd" and convert it to a POV file.
8) I start POV, load the "road and figure.pov" file and render.
9) All that renders is the road and stop sign from "road.ldr". The figure isn't
there.
So what did I forget?
