You are going to have to do several LDraw files to show this. This will be
a sub-assembly of a complex part. Look at examples that LEGO has done for
their BIs. The usualyy do a 1,2 combo showing how this is done and then
point to an arrow of where the sub-assembly will go. So create a
sub-assembly of the complex part and render this one. Then in the another
file show just the sub-massembly in the final model and render this as one step.

Do sub-modeling of the model. The roof, the front, side, etc? Otherwise you
can 'zoom' in POV-Ray when rendering but this will require your to change
the pOV code itself.

| Hello, I'm having a little trouble too do some editing in MLCAD (v2.12). Question 1: How too make a bend on a hose, part 79.dat (Technic Ribbed Hose) or 78.dat (complete 120LDU long)?
