I downloaded your collection...no RoundBox...sorry!

I followed all the links on Ken's great site...found a link to the
author's site...got 404'd...really sorry!

My modernist house project has now come to a full, terminal halt without
RoundBox.
Oh, well, I'll keep hoping someone has a copy stashed away
somewhere...or knows an active link to a site with it.

Thank you all for your prompt help!
Maybe this is a sign I should try some new, non-architectural project!

Blessings,
           Brendan

http://www.povray.org/links/POV-Ray_Include_Macro_and_Object_Files/Macro_Files/

There is the first one in the list:

'58 Macro File Utilities' directly from Ken's site including a rounded box
macro.

and

'Chris Huff's Macro Collection' which is no more maintained as he
mentioned.

and

'Rounded Box Macro'

so i don't see any problems finding something.  All these links work
without problems.

In this case you can also code it yourself from scratch... ;-)

Here's one I did some time ago.

Hmm, well in French, "angle" is a often a synonym for "edge" or "corner",
hehehe.

Thank you all for your help.  I followed the links you gave me and
downloaded the files you recommended...and several others, too.  I don't
know how I missed finding some of these sites.  The version that Chris
Hormann suggested seems to be one that will work in my scenes even
though it's not the van Syckles version I was using and lost.

Thanks, again to to all!

I'll post some fresh pictures and soures sometime in early July.

Blessings, 
          Brendan

Hi, again,

I am a raving, blind idiot!  No, really, I am!

I found this file in the most obvious place:  my OWN website!  
I posted a ZIP file of the Modernist house several months ago, including
the RoundBox.INC!  So now I have it and can continue my work on this
eternal House Project.

Again and again I thank you all for your help and trouble.  I appreciate
the brotherly, collegant spirit of this new group.  

Thank you  thank you  thank you !!!

Blessings,
          Brendan

I think from now on we should let people sweat it out for a few days
before helping them....
