I'm trying to render some new models I made out of set 4883, but I keep getting
this message when I try to load it into POV-Ray: // Empty model. This is listed
where the parts should be in the file. This is a standard .ldr file, not a .mpd
file. I created the models in MLCad, ran them through LP3 using the LP3AO
program, opened the resulting file in POV-Ray and started under my breath
because I keep getting the same stinkin' message. If I open an older .pov file,
it has all of the data it should for the parts. I assume it's most likely from
LP3 not collecting the data for the pieces when generating the file for POV-Ray,
but how do I go about fixing it??????

Here are the top lines from the files in POV-Ray:

The last part with the //Empty model lines is cut short since there are so many
of them. I think you get the general idea.

(...) First thing you would try is avoiding spaces in file namnes and directories. L3P is a DOS program, and DOS programs generally hate spaces. /Tore (18 years ago, 20-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad)
  Re: // Empty model errors in POV-Ray
 
(...) This is because L3P hasn't read any file having line type 3 or 4. (...) L3P is looking for DAT files in I:\LDraw\MODELS\OFFICIAL MODELS\4883-Designer Set\ C:\LDRAW\LEdit\P C:\LDRAW\LEdit\PARTS C:\LDRAW\LEdit\MODELS Is that what you expect ? (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.cad)
