In the course of experimenting with L3P and POV-Ray, I’ve noticed there are a few parts that appear positioned or oriented incorrectly when LGEO parts are used (with L3P’s -lgeo option). Here is an example of the two I have found so far, 6536 and 6187.

Here is the example LDraw file:

It renders as expected when converted to POV-Ray format normally:

l3p lgeoquirks.ldr lq-l3p.pov -cg45,45 -b1,1,1
povray lq-l3p.pov

Normal L3P render

But with LGEO parts, the bar appears above its proper position and the joiner appears rotated 90 degrees around the Y axis:

l3p lgeoquirks.ldr lq-lgeo.pov -cg45,45 -b1,1,1 -lgeo
povray lg-lgeo.pov +L$LGEODIR

LGEO render

Is this a known problem, and if so, is there an established workaround?

It's known, and there are fixes. See (URL). --Travis (17 years ago, 8-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
