I've been 'testing' the CyberMaster version of the Electric Touch Sensor
in POV-Ray and noticed a few details:

I don't know if the contacts of the studs where yellow in some time in
the past, but nowadays they are silver. Maybe they could should be
changed to color 383?

I would even suggest the redrawing of the electric studs to include the
inside walls (what about redrawing all studs?). That way they could be
painted silver and more accurately portrait a true transparent electric
stud as in the case of the CyberMaster sensors. This is not only a
detail because the shinny silver metal inside the stud is very visible
to the eye in a real part.

This brings even another subject:
What can be done with L3P to automate the correct POV-Ray rendering of
surfaces?
I mean for instants the metallic contacts of the studs don't have a
solid color, they are metallic and the rendering is quite inaccurate
with POV-ray showing a bass yellow area.
The opposite situation are the rubber parts (wheels and stuff). They are
not shinny as POV-Ray renders them.
Maybe could be created some 0 line primitive in the DAT file?
