I'm having a strange problem with Mlcad and POV. I'm trying to put together a town using by making separate objects, buildings, etc., and then importing them all together in a MPD file. You know, load one file and then import the other objects, make (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) What I would do, rather than starting with one of your models, is first create an entirely new "scene" model, and import your other files into that 1 by 1, and add them to the scene. As for the colours, they can be affected by the lighting in (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Well, the funny thing happens to be that I started out complex at first and tried to combine stuff. When that gave me problems, I figured I would just simplify it to a road, car, and figure. Let me show you the work I'm trying to do. This is (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I once experienced something similar, so I dunno if this will be relevant, but: could it be that one of your models has the same filename as one of the ldraw parts in the scene? (I made a model of set xxx and saved it as xxx.dat and the xxx also is (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I mostly put each model and submodel in a seperate file (.ldr, not .mpd) and put those in the same folder. The scene file is also a .ldr file that references to all the models. I don't use spaces in the filenames, as that might also give problems. I (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Would you mind posting the MPD file that does that? The only thing I can think is that maybe it's missing a "0" line at the end of the main model or something, and that L3P requires that to know where the end is. ROSCO (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) I'll have to check this. Since Main Street is #6390, I named a lot of files starting with that number such as 6390 Main Street, 6390 Construction Worker, 6390 Yellow Car, etc. Could that and the spaces be the problem? (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

It looks like how I named the files was the problem. I changed the names of the files to something more simpler without spaces, and I got... (URL) Whew! Finally. Now I need to convert the stickers over to .dat. Oh and I need to make string for the (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) I got the same errors when I started due to having "shared" part prefixes. All my parts started with the model number, space, then the "part". Again, I fixed it by using a - instead. (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)
