(...) a quick fix for that is to create a subpart for your model, with just the bar in it, then inline. that was part (bar 1 x 4) is really named something different.. when it goes thru l3p, it doesnt use the lgeo part. (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Having got the .pov file created I did have to include a Library path to the LGEO.inc files folder. Once that was set I managed to get a render in 3.1 but got more errors in 3.5, something to do with version levels. I also got a strange (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Maybe you have a Libray_Path wrong in POV, so it's looking for include files in the wrong place? POV: 'Tools' -> 'Edit Master POVRAY.INI', go to the end of the file, You may have any number of lines like these: Library_Path=C:\Program\POV-Ray (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) No, sorry, its not either of them, L3PAO knows the location correctly. the filename is ccb2.pov (mirroring the .mpd filename) and so it is not too long and has no spaces.
