Hello Lugnet, My name is Molly Friedrich. I was a regular poster a few years ago under my old name, although things have changed a lot for me and I needed some time to process everything.

(...) mklist won't change any files. You do not need to manually edit the header. The mere fact that 3429 is found in the PARTS folder is enough to recognize it as a part. Just to be sure: you run L3P on Space_fork_lift.ldr and not on (...) (18 years ago, 25-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray)

Just an update. I never really resolved the problem. But for now I am working around the problem by manually entering the .5 spacing that L3P would usually add between parts in POV-Ray.

(...) It looks like you're using LGEO parts in your picture. These have (slightly) rounded edges on all the bricks that visually create seams. The forklift part isn't modeled in LGEO, so L3P falls back to the LDraw geometry for that part, which (...) (18 years ago, 24-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

How L3P determines what to shrink (since it wouldn't be appropriate to shrink any subpart assemblies) may introduce the (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Hi David, The short answer is that there are no seams, only lines. Since a line is a one-dimensional object it is invisible in POVray. The long answer is that POVray won't show edge lines because they are not really useful and don't fit with (...) (18 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.people.newbie, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
