| | | | | | | (...) Correct. As I noted in my other reply, the only way I've been able to render those colors (and a few others) with L3P/POV-ray is to replace the color codes with their 0x02RRGGBB style equivalents, and that's not really the most desirable (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) Neat. Can you explain what you mean by povray include file? A separate file from the model generated by L3P, that contains color definitions? How do you prevent L3P from replacing your custom colors with the default gray, as it does with other (...) (18 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | | | (...) Well the problem with bleys is that L3P doesn't just replace them, it deletes them. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have this problem with parts in colours greater than or equal to 256. Fortunately, l3p colour definitions check to make sure the (...)

Unless I've got the wrong grey (quite possible; bley genealogy bores me), L3P complains and applies the default color, but it doesn't remove the the part from the (...)
