An interesting philosophical question about instruction approaches... Does anyone have any thoughts on or examples of instructions that are organized in a hierarchy as opposed to linearly? Where an instruction hierarchy would start with the building (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

I totally agree with all these comments. This especially rears it's head when doing passenger coaches where I've use the same sub model 36 times in s set of 4 coaches!

I've run into this problem before using Pov-Ray. What you need to do is find the line that calls the complete model (will be just before the camera statement) and remove the #if statement. For example: Remove #if (version >= 3.1) material #else (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

Hi Dave, Right now the installer is too simple. It needs to know where the LDraw directory is, so it can add some parts to your parts directory. It does a simple search for this: LDRAW\MKLIST.EXE on your hard disks. It cannot find it. I'd guess one (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

While it is a great idea to supress the multiple rendering of the same steps, I'm not sure there is really any added value to displaying the "x4" on the last step.
