    POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Adrian Rohnfelder
   Hi, when using POVRay (Win) I always get following error: Parse Error cannot open include file lg_defs.inc Model built in MLCad (tried Win and Mac), prepared with LDView (tried Win and Mac), always same error. POVRay for Mac unfortunately doesn't (...) (14 years ago, 16-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Willy Tschager
   (...) Your POV-Ray.ini file is missing the paths to the LGEO libraries. You might try the AIOI I have prepared: (URL) will do the job for you and I've got a new tester as well. w. (14 years ago, 16-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Another approach (not necessarily better, but if you have a mostly working installation already you may prefer it, especially if your directory layout is non standard) is to go get the LGEO libs and then hand modify your master POVRAY.ini file (...)

     Hy Larry, I am also going to try this on friday, thx. BTW, are you THE Larry I have met years years years ago for one day in Germany (forgot the name of the boy you visited, I have been there with Dö (Ralph)) and built some cool stuff together? Some (...) (14 years ago, 18-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) I am the Larry behind MiltonTrainWorks.com ... and I think I have been the Larry you met in Germany way long ago. Was Ben there? (14 years ago, 18-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)  
    
         Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Adrian Rohnfelder
     Hi Larry, no, Ben wasn't there, I forgot the name of the guy you've visited, I will ask Ralph, maybe he remembers. Your tip with the library path helped a bit, the error I asked about doesn't show up again, but now there is a new one: "No matching (...) (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     (...) That sounds like an LDView bug. If you send me your model, I will investigate. --Travis (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

     Hi Travis, thanks for your offer, I sent you the file yesterday evening (european time :-) ). cheers, adrian (13 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
    
         Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Travis Cobbs
     (...) You're welcome. I got the POV files, and responded (via email) that I needed the original LDraw file in order to debug LDView. It would seem that you didn't get my email reply. --Travis (13 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
    
         Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Travis Cobbs
     (...) I got your email, tracked down the problem, and sent you a link to a test LDView build. Thanks again. For reference, LDView was referring to sloped brick faces using LGEO's _slope variant of the color even when the color wasn't a color (...) (13 years ago, 26-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
    
         Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Adrian Rohnfelder
     Travis, cool, many thanks, will be able to test the file tomorrow. What can I do within LDraw to avoid this prob in future times? Thx, adrian (13 years ago, 26-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
    
         Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Travis Cobbs
     (...) The bug in LDView means that any sloped bricks that have LGEO versions won't work if they use a color not directly supported by LGEO. Your model used color 0x6FFFFFF (which is transparent full white) for at least one brick that contained a (...) (13 years ago, 26-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Adrian Rohnfelder
   (...) Cool, thx, will give it a try on friday (have no access to my Mac Mini with the Windows Installation at the moment) and tell you the results. Great, adrian (14 years ago, 18-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
   
        Re: POVRay Error: lg_defs.inc —Adrian Rohnfelder
   Hi, I tried the installation, works fine, but get same error as with the tip of Larry: "No matching in 'material', undeclared identifier 'LDXColor117440511_slope'" Any idea? Thx, adrian (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)
