Hello,

I've read the help file searching some information about "Lathe", but I
don't understand somethings.
1.- There are 4 different kinds of lathes, but how can I now what tipe I
need? for exemple I want to do an apple.
2.- I have to give to the program different points, how can I calculated
this points? It's like a Surface of Revolution?

Thanks in advance,
Oleguer

I always start by drawing the points I want to pass through on a piece of
graph paper,

There's also a rather good tutorial in the Advanced Features section (
chapter 3) of the manual, that gives an example spline "work shop" in SDL.
Definitely worth a look.

Where can I find this manual? On the Internet?

It comes with every official distribution of POV-Ray. If you're using 
windows, click the red question mark.
