An easy way to resolve the problem with part 3939 would be to
rename/delete the file lg_3939.inc.  When L3P can't find this file, it
will use the regular LDraw 3939.dat as the basis for rendering.

This I tried.  Reconverted my .dat to .pov in L3PAdd-On and then I moved the
incorrectly two problematic files to C:/LDRAW/badfiles/.  And after I open
the .pov in POV-Ray 3.1 and set and render, it errors on, get this, the
lg_3942.inc file with an error in the status line that reads:

error: Cannot open include file lg_3942.inc Check that the file is in a
directory specified with a +L sithch or 'Library_Path='

Sorry, my bad. :(  I didn't realize there was a data store for LGEO
parts.  I assumed L3P was checking the LGEO directory for .inc files.
Silly me.

so I put it back, and receive the same error for lg_3939.inc.  Why is it
still trying to use these files even though they are no longer there?

I'm guessing it's either (a) LGEO has a list of parts somewhere that L3P
is referencing or (b) L3P has to provide translation to between the
LDraw files and the LGEO parts, so L3P has a list of LGEO parts
somewhere.

A more accurate solution would be to match up the part number changes
from LCAD update 99-03 (see
<http://www.ldraw.org/library/updates/vote9903.txt>) with the LGEO
files, and rename the LGEO files to match the current LDraw files.

I'm going to try this next...

thanks for your help so far...  I can't wait to lick this one ... Rendering
is my newest passion.

Good luck.  Let us know how it comes out.

Steve

just to reexplain the problem. 3939 renders as 3942 and 3942 renders as 3943. while 3943 renders as LDraw 3943 because there is no 3943.
