(...) There are some valid reasons for putting a single part in a subfile, like to work around a part's awkward origin and/or orientation. (...) Whoa, there- I'm not getting down on LPub at all. I'm just saying that LPub has limitations when (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Hi Orion, The law of similar triangles comes to mind...... not that I consider myself much of a mathemetician.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction... I have an object with a known bounding box, how do I calculate the position of the camera so that the whole object is shown on a screen of known dimentions? In other words, how to I determine the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) L3P has a bug with part colors when there is a single part in a sub-file. In this case, you need to ask yourself why you have this case. It seems overkill to have side.ldr with just one part in it. None the less, it is a bug in L3P. (...) LPub (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Henry - L3P (or POV, I'm not sure) has a problem with color when converting LDraw files that contain single parts. To get around this, you can select the -c (Color) switch in L3PAO, and choose among the original 16 LDraw colors. You can also (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

The attached .mpd file is showing a weird problem with colors when run through L3P and rendered in POV-Ray. There is a subfile that contains a single part. In there, the part's color is set to trans-red (Color36). The parent file sets it to black (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)

All, I recently tried rendering a tan (LDraw #382) plate using MLCAD and L3PAO. As this shows: (URL) color! I have also tried this and other pieces in yellow and dark red (# 320). I should also note that I rendered things in August and everything (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

(...) The first run with -ca1 should give an (almost) orthographic look. If you want a 100% orthographic view you should put the keyword "orthographic" into the POV file. But why would you want the first run then? To place the camera? /Lars (22 years ago, 21-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi Eduardo, This can easily be done with LPub, a program that takes LDR/DAT/MPD files as inputs, and creates POV-Ray images easily. Most people use LPub to create building instructions, but LPub can also be used for single images. You can control (...) (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
