I meant:
Update the Eagle 3D script! You need a version of the script designed for a 
more recent version of POV-Ray. Right now the script you have not only seems 
to be buggy, it also expects an ancient version of POV-Ray as its counterpart.

The Eagle 3D script is the source of all your problems, so you need to make 
sure you have the latest version and then if needed fix the other bugs in it 
yourself if you can. Eagle script files end with scr if I recall correctly.

The problem is the radius of the hole, right before the pigment statement.
0.6.5 should almost certainly be 0.65

old version: disc {<9.45-2.5, H+0.05, 7.28-2> y,0.7,0.6.5 pigment{col}}
change to:   disc {<9.45-2.5, H+0.05, 7.28-2> y,0.7,0.65 pigment{col}}


That should do it.

I got eagle 5.6. I'm using the 3d script, 3d41 wich came with it...when opened
in wordpad it says for use with 4.1 and later...unless there is a new script.
In wich case where can I get it and whats the name?

I got it to render, yay! Thanks for the help, but here is another question, why
is there some items missing? Like there is 2 resistors and a diode a capactior
and the lm555 timer, yet the led and the battery along with some other stuff is
not there.

nvm I got the led in there...just now I need to figure out where to get 3d
batteries.

Be aware that...

- POV-Ray is not specifically designed to work with Eagle 3D; if something goes
wrong, consider it a problem of Eagle 3D, which is designed for the sole
purpose of interfacing the Eagle PCB layout software to POV-Ray.

- Your version of Eagle 3D is obviously designed to interface to an older
version of POV-Ray; if something goes wrong, consider it an incompatibility
between the Eagle 3D and POV-Ray versions, and try to either get a newer
version of Eagle 3D, or install an older version of POV-Ray (in parallel to
your POV-Ray 3.6 and 3.7 installations, if you like). Installing even newer
versions of POV-Ray will get you nowhere.

- If you still want to try to get your old Eagle 3D version to work with newer
POV-Ray versions, you will *need* to understand at least *some* of that
"jibberish".


Note that this is *not* an Eagle 3D support newsgroup. This is a POV-Ray
newsgroup. We cannot fix your Eagle 3D. And I think we'd rather teach you some
of that "jibberish" than try to come up with an "out of the box" solution.

After all, there may come a time when you design a PCB with a device that is
unknown to Eagle 3D; knowing that "jibberish" would then enable you to add a
corresponding model to the library.

I bet EAGLE has been around a deal longer than Windows screensavers, dating back
to good old MS-DOS times.

Obviously, as there is currently no POV-Ray 4.* yet, that must refer to the
version of EAGLE supported, not of POV-Ray.

It would seem to me that work on Eagle 3D has not made much progress recently.

Parts not defined in the Eagled 3D library, I'd guess.

After all, the EAGLE library only specifies the 2D layout of parts (if at all;
in worst case all you get is solder pads), so to render them in 3D, the actual
shape must be defined elsewhere in a library of sorts.

Time to learn some "jibberish" :P

and where would I go to learn this...jibberish?
