(...) Not a bad choice. Also consider L3Lab... what I like about it is that you can rotate the model to check for stuff you messed up. Yes, you can do that in MLCad as well but it's good as a double check. (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Alternatively, I recommend that, if you're going to start with L3P, as I did, your best bet is simply to render the model straight off the page: l3p model.dat and then play around with the POV file within POV-Ray. I'm not especially conversant (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I would suggest skipping the learning curve of L3P and download the L3PAddOn program. It is a very nice windows interface that writes out the L3P commands. You can download it at www.Ldraw.org. Jake --- Jake McKee AFOL LUGNET Member #211 (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi This weekend I have been reading the instructions for L3P, both the ones on the site and the ones that come zipped with the program. I can't work it out Could someone give me a brief, clear guide as to how to use it? Thanks, Tim (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

I've noticed on a few recent POV-Ray attempts that part 4589 Cone 1 x 1 doesn't show up properly, as though the surface isn't rendering, leaving only the central stem of the cone. I don't recall this happening before, but I'm not sure that I (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
