 | | L3P Options?
|
|
Dear Lars (and anyone who can answer my questions) I was wondering if there was a way to use L3P so that it does NOT include its primitives in the final .pov file? The reason for this question is that I'd like to be able to adjust some of the (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Yep. -p Don't substitute any primitives in the P directory with POV equivalents ---...--- In order to have a nicer looking image some parts (primitives) in the P directory are by default substituted with POV equivalents. E.g. 4-4cyli.dat is (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Sorry! I guess I didn't make my question clear enough. I'd like to substitute the primitives still, but with those of my own creation, rather than those that L3P creates. For example I think a stud looks better with a slightly rounded top (a (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) You got it. 0 L3P IFPOV meta-statements are probably the way to accomplish what you want. Hmm, thinking more about it (I could just go try it), you'll probably still need l3p's -p parameter, or l3p probably won't even look at the primitive (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) You'll be happy to know that the coming L3P (yes, I know I've said that too often) has #ifndef's around everything, e.g.: //// Primitive stud.dat #ifndef (stud_dot_dat) #macro stud_dot_dat(L3ArgTe...,L3ArgMat) L3MacroBegin("stud_dot_dat") #if (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)
