Hi news.povray.org, you recently wrote in moray.win:

If you're talking about the filter that we wrote, then you're wrong,
it exports to MDL format.

True, I didn't understand the filter docs to be able to implement
that. Maybe you can send me the sPatch file you were working on that
uses layers and I will try to add layers.

Oh, it is, believe me. If it weren't compatible, Moray would let you
know.

Can you give me an example of where there are holes? I export all the
meshes that sPatch gives me and if there are holes, then it's an
sPatch problem. Unless of course you have a huge mesh that is
generating too many edges or vertices for your current settings. You
can see this has happened when the Edge or Vertex count in the status
bar turns red and goes to 99%. In this case use the Advanced Tab in
the Settings Dialog and crank up the two memory settings. You need to
exit and restart for these to take effect.
