I have posted Door_macro_test.pov in povray.text.scene-files.

I am trying to:
#macro Door_profile (Dp_width, Dp_thickness, Dp_bevel, Dp_seam, Dp_front_gauge,
Dp_back_gauge)
....
#end

#declare My_door = Door_profile (35+11/16, 1+3/4, 1/8, 1, 16, 14);

My_door

This works and I get the Door_profile object.

Instead of My_door, I use:
difference{
 My_door
 box{<0,0,0>,<1.25,1,1> translate <.25,1,0>}
 cutaway_textures <1,0,0>
}

I get an error:
"Door_macro_test.pov" line 228: Parse Error: No matching } in 'difference', box
found instead

Render failed

It may have to do with returning from a macro? I'm not sure what to look for.

have you tried

object{My_door}

in the code above? Maybe that will work.

I think i've found it.

Nothing should be after the cutaway_textures

difference{
 My_door
 box{<0,0,0>,<1.25,1,1> translate <.25,1,0>}
 cutaway_textures
}

Oops! I did not see that. The most obvious things are the most difficult.
