Just an update. I never really resolved the problem. But for now I am working around the problem by manually entering the .5 spacing that L3P would usually add between parts in POV-Ray. Here's the corrected file. (URL) Thanks to everyone for your (...) (18 years ago, 24-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

You've deffinitely helped me understand some of what creates that authentic lego look in the POV-Ray picture. :) But I tried everything and I just can't get L3P or POV-Ray to shrink/separate the unofficial parts in the (...)

(...) It looks like you're using LGEO parts in your picture. These have (slightly) rounded edges on all the bricks that visually create seams. The forklift part isn't modeled in LGEO, so L3P falls back to the LDraw geometry for that part, which (...) (18 years ago, 24-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the quick response. But I'm still confused about something. If POV-Ray doesn't draw lines/seams, then what causes the other parts to display seams in the POV-Ray picture?

(...) Hi David, The problem is a shortcoming in L3P. The way L3P adds seam "lines" is to shrink the pieces by a small amount. How L3P determines what to shrink (since it wouldn't be appropriate to shrink any subpart assemblies) may introduce the (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Hi David, The short answer is that there are no seams, only lines. Since a line is a one-dimensional object it is invisible in POVray. The long answer is that POVray won't show edge lines because they are not really useful and don't fit with (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

Any idea why the some pieces don't show seams in POV-Ray but they do in MLCad? Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere. I did search for it, but I didn't find anything. (Newbie to all this.) For example, this is the model as seen in MLCAD. (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

Thank You, Tim, for the challenge! I will try to master it. Even if the the first obstacle for me will be the impression of a disco, since that kind of location is still quite full of mysteries for a nerd (ok...geek) like me :-( Andreas (18 years ago, 21-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
