I don't know if any official parts do it, but it is possible. Based on an
earlier lugnet.cad.ray message, you do this:
0 L3P IFNOTPOV
(regular ldraw code goes here)
0 L3P ELSEPOV
0 (POV-Ray code goes here, commented-out)
0 L3P ENDPOV
You can also use 0 L3P IFPOV instead of IFNOTPOV if you'd prefer to switch
the order. You can go to http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=930 for Lars'
original announcement and http://news.lugnet.com/cad/ray/?n=656 for an
example with the car wash brush.
