Hi Paul, I'd like to thank you for your help on this. I assigned a clear pigment to the box: difference{ object { Scimitr2_dot_dat } box { <40,-43,-360>,<350,85,280> pigment{color Clear}} } It never occurred to me to give the box a color.

(...) Well Travis, This one could have some error messages that may be appearing. I have been rendering most of the day today and have seen many different error messages. An example that works for me is; difference{ box{<-60,-5,70>,<50,70,-30> #if (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Sorry about the image size. I've uploaded two larger images with a different view point. I've also included an image of the full model. The difference statement is as follows: difference{ object { Scimitr2_dot_dat } box { <40,-43,-360>,<350,85,280> (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I have done quite a bit of this type of thing, but it has been awhile. I could not tell anything from your pictures. Can you maybe render them a little larger? and perhaps give us an example of what your difference statement looks like. Paul (23 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I have part of a model that I want to show by using the difference statement. I'm using a box to cut away part of the model. The pov file was created with l3p and the -lgeo option. When I render the file with QUAL=0, I get the de- sired result. When (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

It's great to have you back, Lutz! Your LGEO library is an invaluable resource for the community and has personally been a major part of my interest in Lego. I look forward to its further development. Thanks and welcome back! (23 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

I hate to be picky, but the teeth aren't quite right. They should be involute profiles. Then they'll actually mesh with other gears : ) (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
