Thanks, Anton. I tried your converter the other day, and it gave me blank files, so I gave up on it and just downloaded L3D (which worked fine). But now I’ll give your converter another try too.

Incidentally, though, I don’t find POV-Ray renderings to be the best for instructions, as they’re too realistic. For instructions, I want something more diagrammatic, with clear lines delineating the blocks. Does anyone have any recommendations for such a renderer? (And Allen, would you consider building it right into BrickSmith?)

Yes, LDGLite or LDView (both available for OS X). This renderers can produce very good rendering at high resolutions.

(...) One thing, though. LDView can't be used to make instructions without using LPub, since it doesn't itself support the STEP command. And of course, LPub hasn't been ported to the Mac. --Travis (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
