Just like in real life, put them a long way away.
Hope this helps, but sometimes when you're bogged down in code
you miss the obvious answer.

That intervention of Steve reminded me of a question to which I've
never found an answer in my reading of the docs, web tutorial or the
prose of the good POVists people, here or at nzn.fr.3D.pov. What are
the largest and the smallest number to use in a location vector ?

This question has been fielded before, I don't remember the correct
answer, but I know it's not a 32bit number, I suggested this and it was
quickly proven wrong. That doesn't help, I know.

From frame.h:
There are some other limits around there too. If a bounding
box is larger than 1e6 in any direction, for example, it is
treated as infinite.

Infinite in that direction or in every direction?

In all directions, but apparently only for CSGs and quadrics.
