What program do you guys recommend to make the spline lines and SOR objects?
like in this image from the tutorial which you put the points and it traces the
line

TOK and I helped Novado create PointWriter to do this kind of thing.

To make jr happy, I'll suggest that you could use VISIO from M$ Office to draw a
series of line segments.
Maybe the nice people over at visguy.com could slap together a nice little tool
to apply the appropriate spline type, and output a snippet of code to directly
paste into a scene file.

I tried the Inkscape route. Had a spline of 32 points, which I could indeed save
in POVray format. But when I tried to render over half of the points gave an
error. With one exception they were all duplicate points. Others with a similar
experience?

I've never had a problem between inkscape and povray, apart from object 
naming. POVRay doesn't accept names with hyphens.


Try to be a little more precise by giving a simple example with the 
POVRay error message.



We'll be able to help you.

Simple and straight forward. Just tested it under win11 and it still works
fine,,
