I need help. I am to ray-tracing Lego models. I haven’t done ray tracing for about 7-8 years, and want to ray-trace the models I created in MLCad.

(...) I don't think that's the problem! Christopher J. Dean wrote that the file did appear in PovRay, it just contained a lot of "// Empty model" lines. L3P can handle long filenames with spaces, you (or the program that calls L3P) should just (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
