(...) Or instead of learning POV-Ray code language, just get in the habbit of exporting the scene model (IE the one with all the sub models from inside MPD file assymbled in), and rendering it. Thats the way I do it. Jeffrey Jarvis (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

L3P just converts the file to POV-Ray format. If you aren't afraid of learning the POV-Ray syntax, you can just edit the files and render whatever you want. James (...) (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi, am I mistaken if I presume that L3P doesn't offer any means to render another one than the very first model in an MPD document? If so, are there any tools already to help that?
