Ah. OK! So Blend2Pov won't be able to do anything with those edges for you
because it never gets the data to work with.
The option I posted in my second post to pick up that info from an export in
'obj' format should still be viable though. You could do that by hand quite
quickly using a search/replace in a good editor. Admitedly it's not
something you'd want to do by hand if you wanted to do it very frequently,
but a short script or a little editor macro could easily transform that obj
file data into something useable. Depends how much you want it :-)
