(...) It's in the Change menu under Settings. Go to the Document tab and set the Default 3D rotation settings to X:23, Y:45, Z:0. This changes the view of the pieces on the left and the camera angle for saving bitmaps of you model. HTH John Gramley (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Well, why don´t you raytrace the models? Use POV-Ray or try Lightwave for it. For use Lightwave, you need a converter to convert from *.DAT to *.LWO. You can find it at www.joern-thiemann.de/tools; some Demo-Pics too. Greetings... ...Joern Thiemann (...) (24 years ago, 17-Sep-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.town, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I have just done my first Pov-Ray rendering using LP3. It has turned out nicely except for the fact that it is very small. Can I increase the size of the model in MLCAD/Ledit?
