I'm trying to use the round box macros from shapes.inc. In my code,
I've got:
#include "shapes.inc"
Round_Box(<-17.5, 0, -64>, <17.5, 12, 10>, 1, yes),
But when I go to render, I get:
Expected 'object or directive', undeclared identifier 'Round_Box' found
instead
File shtest.pov line 29
This is driving me bats! I'm using 3.5 for Mac, under OS X, 10.1.
Am I doing the include wrong? Calling the macro improperly? I looked
in the documentation, but it seems to say you can call a macro just by
invoking the name.
Today's 'help an idiot' day! Aren't you glad I've given you this chance
to celebrate it?

Make sure you have the POV-Ray include file path in your Library_Path and
you don't have a different file named 'shapes.inc' included instead.

Dawn,
Have you wrapped the call to this macro in an object statement?
object { Round_Box.....
}

I've tried it both ways. In each instance, it behaves roughly the same way.
My reading of the documentation indicates that the object statement
shouldn't be needed....

Thanks, Christoph... after tripple-checking and then, just to be extra
sure, running a search on my hard drive for shapes.inc, I realized that
I was, in fact pointing at the 3.1 version of shapes.inc!
I told you this was 'help an idiot' day!
Thanks again!

Dawn,
OK. You could comment out the include for shapes.inc and then copy the
shapes.inc file into your working file ahead of the Round_Box call. Ugly, but
that would tell you if it is a problem with how your libraries are set up - as
Christoph suggested might be the case.
If you have not already done it, you might try to put something besides the
Round_Box where the Round_Box is in your code today and see what happens.

Hello Dawn,
