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.
