I suppose the problem comes from implicit coordinates: your sphere is declared
at 0.0 whereas the importer expects tuples cordinates made of 3 axes like
<0,0,0>

Yes changing that allows the importer to work.
Can you do anything about it?
In Bishop3D only spheres are made like that. That includes sphere 
components in sphere sweeps.

The project Thomas and I are working on. I think we have broken it's 
back. (All the hard and problematic things are done, until the next one 
crops up.) So I will have some time.
I really want to help with this as a tester. I think it is important.
I will drop you a line and you can tell me how I can help.

You'll certainly need to fix this in the importer. Making use of
POV-Ray's auto-promotion of floats to vectors is a very common idiom in
POV-Ray scenes.

Excellent export! 4 unnecessary quantities transferred, but the tuple formatted.
Oh,oh.

We will need the sample files from all types of objects that can be created on
Bishop export. All modifiers, media{}, photons{}, interior{} and so on.
We need to learn how to Bishop writes the text: where to put spaces and line
transfers.

Thanks! :)

No, thank you for offering to write an importer/converter.

<Joke>
Dr John. See how I slipped that into the small print?

</Joke>

I have written to Maurice offering my assistance. He has my contact 
details. Which he can share.

There are just over 20 objects that B3D (Bishop3D) uses. So that bit 
should be simple.
Materials are a bit more complicated for me as I generally use simple 
ones. But we can work through it.
It also has a couple of plugins. One is based on Giles Tan's make grass. 
The other one is for exporting Pov code but should be easy to find as it 
is delimited like:
//------- Sphere0 Raw Script Begin -------
#include "colors.inc"
//------- Sphere0 Raw Script End ---------

I think we should start an new thread and not hijack this one any more.

Uh... no, actually you need to generally learn the intricate details of
POV-Ray's scene description language. Because you certainly don't want
to limit your importer to POV files created by Bishop3D.

Oh, the fun you'll have! ;)

We are with you, it does not help. :)
You did not understand anything. I help Mr, but I need .pov files with different
styles of writing. I do not need your importer-exporter.

But who but the enlightened, understand anything?

It will be done.

I see.
The problem of parsing the scene that you allow the user to wear underpants on
his head. :))))))))))))
Your SDL encourages mess.
But nor is it terrible. There is no desire to write when no one needs.
..pov file can be easily read using python, but it will take a lot of work
