Thank you and have a good weekend yourself.
You have come to the right place to learn about PovRay.

As you probably know PovRay only renders your image from a sctipt 
generated by your architectural program. Which one is it by the way?
The entry in [GUIExtensions] allows your program to start PovRay and to 
tell it which file to parse and render. My entry is:

[GUIExtensions]
UseExtensions=1

ExtDll17=C:\Program Files (x86)\Bishop3D\Bishop3DPovComm.dll
ExtDll18=C:\Graphics\Moray For Windows\MorayCtrl.DLL

This allows the modellers Bishop3D and Moray to communicate with PovRay.
Both of these programs amend the pvengine.ini file when they are 
installed or via their preferences or settings menu.

If you have any questions to not hesitate to ask
