I think that's the right question.  I'm trying to get L3P to give me zero
skewing from perspective; I want an isometric view such as what LDraw gives
me.  I'm taking the approach that to do this in photography, you should get
real far back and zoom in.

This is very simple to achieve.  You simply insert the "orthographic"
statement inside the "camera" declaration.  This will generate an image
with the same perspective as LDLITE does, i.e., no perspective at all.

Of course, you'll need to alter the camera placement and orientation to
get the view you'll want.  I dunno if you'll still need to have an
"angle 67" statement, say, but it's just a matter of trying.
