I'm attempting to render a very old scene I created in POV-Ray v3.1 with
  

POV-Ray 3.6 and am getting an error on a lathe object where I've used a 
 

vector instead of a UV_Vector.
Unfortunately the value for the vector is generated by vrotate() like so
...

#declare brace1_1 = vrotate(<curve+ringThickness, 0, 0>, maxAngle*z) -
  

<curve-barrelRadius, 0, 0>

How do I convert brace1_1 to a uv_vector so x=u and y=v?

Simplest solution IMO:

#macro VectorToUV(vec)
(<vec.x, vec.y>)
#end
