Yep, you do. For some reason, Moray sometimes adds an extra letter to the
name of the object in the reference (the one inside the brackets) What you
need to do is open both the scene (pov) file, and the include file from the
UDO, and check that the names referenced are the same as the ones defined in
the include.I'm not quite sure what is causing the problem, or if there is a
simpler solution. Lutz, anyone, have an idea?
