I have encountered a small problem rendering transparent parts with LDLite 2.4 and I am wondering if anyone else has run into it. consider the file flat.dat, attached It has a trans yellow, trans cyan and trans white brick in it as the first step (...)

(...) Looking at how the geometry is layed out, I think you've hit a limitation in LDView's smoothing algorithm. In other words, the lack of smoothness is caused by a problem with LDView, not by a problem with your layout. The basic cause of the (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) L3P has a bug with part colors when there is a single part in a sub-file. In this case, you need to ask yourself why you have this case. It seems overkill to have side.ldr with just one part in it. None the less, it is a bug in L3P. (...) LPub (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)

The attached .mpd file is showing a weird problem with colors when run through L3P and rendered in POV-Ray. There is a subfile that contains a single part. In there, the part's color is set to trans-red (Color36). The parent file sets it to black (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)

Could some of the senior-authors please have a look at the cond. lines? I'm in trouble with the section around the visor holes.
