Good morning, after I followed this amazing instruction I could create a nice picture of my MOC with POV-Ray. Now I would like to create a building instruction. Every step should be a nice rendered picture created with POV-Ray. My idea: I open MLCad and set some steps in the LDraw Project file of my MOC I open the file with LDView - just the way as I created a picture with POV-Ray for the hole MOC before I wanted to create a building instruction I go back to the first step and I see the first bricks in LDView I go to "File" => "Export..." and create a POV-Ray scene source file - just the way as I created it for the hole MOC before I wanted to create a building instruction I open the POV-Ray scene source file with POV-Ray and "Run" - just the way as I created it for the hole MOC before I wanted to create a building instruction Sadly POV doesn't like my idea: the hole MOC is rendered and not only the first bricks. So I would be very happy if somebody could help me again. Maybe there is even a way that I get POV-Ray to do all the steps I put in in MLCad, automaticly? How do you create instructions if you want to use nice pictures which were rendered by POV-Ray? Thank you very much, Happy Brixx

Hi, I want to use old parts in my MOCs. That's why I use MLCad and LeoCAD. What I've done to render my MOC I open LeoCAD: - I loaded the model in LeoCAD - I go to "File" => "Export" => "POV-Ray" - I select Output File - here I am not sure - I need a existing file? - I select POV-Ray Executable "C:\Program Files\POV-Ray\v3.7\bin\pvengine64.exe" - I select "Render Scene" - I press "ok" Okay - I can see from the date that Leo worked with the selected Output File I open POV-Ray: - I open the Output File - I select "Run" - after 5 seconds I get the following result I am not happy with it - how can I improve it? Thank you for your help! And hey: I don't mean my building skills ;-)

Hi again, thank you very much for your fast reply. Your response sounds very professionally! So it seems to be easier to use MLCad where these old patterns are still available - before rendering - I'll have to try to install all the stuff successfully again - didn't work yet :) I'll also send you a PM. Thank you very much, Happy Brixx Edit: I am sorry but I can't write you a PM, yet. Please contact me via happybrixx[AT]gmail[DOT]com if I may give you a small coupon for your help.

Hi there, my first post - I hope I don't make mistakes :) My problem: we would like to build a train station in LDD and need an old decorated brick and tile for the ticket machine: - tile, decorated 1 x 2 3070bp06: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3070bp06 - brick, decorated 1 x 2 3004pc0: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3004pc0 I would appreciate a solution very much and would like to thank with a small coupon - if that's okay. Kind regards, Happy Brixx
