hello all!

i have a disk which is WIP. as i raytraced it in four views i found out 
that (in my eyes) lines are missing if the camera goes a little bit away. 
the disk is an ellipsoid from which boxes are differenced. the area for the 
label is 5mm lower than the other areas. now the border of this label area 
is gone.
my reality template shows the lines. what does it depend on and what did i 
wrong? and why are some lines interrupted although i commanded povray to 
antialiase?
for visualisation i sent a pic to povray.binaries.images.

Try rendering with Anti-aliasing.  Without AA, thin lines and details can
disappear or become discontinuous.  See the docs on this topic.

You may have to adjust the settings to get what you want including

threshold +An.n
method    +AMn (1 or 2)
recursion +Rn

try  +A0.0 +AM2 +R4  for farily high settings, it takes a lot longer to
render though, try playing with the settings (read the docs to find out more
about them). I usually use method 2  don't go higher than 4 for recursion
level unless you have a lot of time on your hands, try different thresholds
as well (+A0.3, +A0.2, +A0.1, +A0.01, etc...)
