I can adjsut the smoothing when in pass the file througth 3dwin, but if i
tweak it to much, i will loose definitaion on the pieces.

I know, but i am using leoCAD to model, and the only way to get my work out
is a triangle mesh or via the ldraw labrary (which i dont have yet)

i cannot put gaps in sorry - i may try adjusting the block snap in leoCAN
and see if i can get tiny gaps in, but i have feeling it will cack things up

 a udo is a mesh for importing into moray, if the bug is in povray then its
a problem with inc files
