I'm using LPub v 2.4.8.0, and I've noticed that it completely omits POV-Ray torus objects in the output images. Any idea why this might be happening? (13 years ago, 4-Mar-12, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Dave, That is a really old version of LPub. I can imagine that you are using it for a reason, like you want to render with POV, but if that is not the case, I suggest you update LPub to version 4.0.0.11. It renders using LDView or LDGLite (...) (13 years ago, 5-Mar-12, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I've stuck with this particular version because the newer editions have been giving me unpredictable results with BFC errors that I can't seem to track down. I won't bother you with all of the details, but I use a lot of custom LDraw parts, (...) (13 years ago, 5-Mar-12, to lugnet.cad)

(...) There's plenty of people that work with LDraw outside the official library. So long as your parts are valid LDraw Format a problem with renderers is worth mentioning where others will actually see it. Or in short you can ask somewhere where an (...) (13 years ago, 22-Mar-12, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Point taken. I'll give it a shot. The problem is that I've written somewhere upwards of 1,100 parts, and although these do indeed conform to the pre-legalese LDraw format, they don't have the elaborate file header now present in official (...) (13 years ago, 22-Mar-12, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The format is still the same and any software should render parts that conform to the original 0.1 format just as well as anything more recent. To do otherwise is a failure. Tim (13 years ago, 22-Mar-12, to lugnet.cad)
