  L3PAO error
 
I just installed L3PAO and I keep getting an error when starting up that "POV-Ray could not be verified." I have reintalled POV-Ray 3 times now. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Mark M (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) All it really needs is some way to adjust things like the reflectivity of the tires-- they're kinda shiny, which shows off the splines, unlike the rendering with Brazil... The only giveaway on the Brazil model I could spot right off was the (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Weird Logo Issue at L3P Quality Level 3
 
(...) Considering the usefulness of modeling mirrored parts this way (one file just references the other file) (it saves time and bytes), I'd say this is a problem that needs resolution in software. I *think* it could addressed with a POV-Ray macro, (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) But the stud subfile was mirrored. At the lowest level, the ldraw system doesn't differentiate parts, models, primitives, etc. It just knows about files. So mirroring a stud primitive is logically identical to mirroring an entire part. BTW, (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Something about MLCad that's worth noting is that fact that when you add a new part is uses the same rotation matrix as the part above it. Therefore, if you mirrored the part above the part you just added, the part you added is mirrored as (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: Weird Logo Issue at L3P Quality Level 3  [DAT]
 
(...) Hi Richard, Do not blame Lars. Look at the contents of the 4869.dat file and try to replace this line 1 16 0 0 -52 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 stud.dat by this line 1 16 0 0 -52 1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 stud.dat Does this solve your problem? Friendly, Damien (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Weird Logo Issue at L3P Quality Level 3
 
Hey Y'all: If you render the element 4869.dat with L3PAO quality level 3, as far as I can see you get the logo reversed. Other elements render fine. See: (URL) the aforementioned jet engine insert rendered next to a 2x2 round brick. The logo is (...) (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
