Hi all, I made some files and converted them in L3P with the -q3 and -lgeo switches.

Hello, I've been using ML-Cad, L3P, L3PAO, and Pov Ray for a while now, and I've been wondering what the best way is to render minifig heads and/or helmets. I've seen some beautiful renderings out there, with wonderful ROUND heads, but I haven't (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

L3PAO has a "y" value that allows you to adjust the level of the floor. Is it possible that the lowest part in your model is not at y=0?
