I've updated my LDraw road macro for POV-Ray. The macros have mostly been combined into a single item and now use a more convenient syntax. I've also added an Archemedes spiral in addition to the Nautilus spiral, and removed the dependancy on Chris (...) (16 years ago, 25-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Could L3P be modified to use the mesh2 primitive? I notice also that L3P doesn't output the "insidevector" parameter, so LDraw creations can't be used in CSG operations. This is disappointing. -Mike (16 years ago, 17-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

Hello all, Just browsing the POV-Ray homepage and came across a link to a utility called POV-Edge. It consists of a standalone Windows application and a POV-Ray macro.
