Thank you, Anders, I think that should do it. But the thing is, in LDA I try to
do everything before running it all trough L3P. Adding post-processing to the
steps already involved in LDA is not very appealing to me. And after the most
unfortunate ban of inline POV code in official LDraw parts, I almost haven't
touched any POV code by hand. Let's see if I can create a number of light
objects with inline POV code - or maybe let LDA create them inside the LDraw
frame files! At least I have some options to experiment with (instead of
sleeping tonight...).
Thanks, Anders
