Greetings everyone! You may or may not have seen some of the renders I've made on my (URL) Brickshelf Folder>. A while ago, I posted my 'FastRad' settings there, but I think that they were a bit too messy and complicated. I have since cleaned them (...)

(...) Thanks Lars, Rosco and Tim. At last, I found what was wrong. I ran msconfig and discovered a junk character presented as a "wide pipe" (or black rectangle) at the end of LDRAWDIR line. It is also visible in original MS Notepad, but not in (...) (18 years ago, 23-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) If your C:\Windows\ldraw.ini contains: [LDraw] BaseDirectory=f:\LDraw it should not be necessary to set the LDRAWDIR environment variable also. Though (URL) might give the opposite impression L3P first uses LDRAWDIR if set, otherwise it looks (...) (18 years ago, 23-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) In Windows XP, they should be set by Control Panel / System / Advanced / Environment variables. I put mine in the system variable section. Earlier versions of Windows may be different, although I seem to remember it was always similar. ROSCO (18 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Yes, it did the trick! I just pasted "SET LDRAWDIR=F:\LDraw" into the batch file and L3P went nicely back to work. Now I have to figure out how to remind Windows please to use its enviroment variables... Thanks again! /Tore (18 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Sometimes Windows seems to have a hard time remembering environment variables in DOS boxes (I'm sure there's some long, complicated and stupid system to it). Maybe add something to set them to the batch files and see if it works. Tim (18 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I have used L3P for years, and suddely it went on strike. AutoExec.bat still contains: SET LDRAWDIR=F:\LDraw And the SET command still outputs: LDRAWDIR=F:\LDraw And C:\Windows\ldraw.ini still contains: BaseDirectory=f:\LDraw But running the .bat (...) (18 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I thought it was, but in this case it wasn't. The color 24 line can be skipped. And the double pigment declaration was just a pure mistake; one definition is of course sufficient. :) /Tore (18 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Good to know. Thanks! (...) I kind of recall that. In some cases, I've seen that L3P ignores an LDraw file with just Type 0 lines. I haven't checked if the IFPOV code makes it not ignore C13-73.dat, but I just did it in a routine manner. /Tore (18 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) If you want to see the medium blue in LDView, just add the following line to C13-73.dat (anywhere outside the IFPOV section): 0 !COLOUR Medium_Blue CODE 13 VALUE #6E99C8 EDGE 0 Tore, is the color 24 line in the file necessary in order to make (...) (18 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
