I'm now using MP .5 but I've also noticed this problem in the official POV.
Whenever I create a lathe object, the level of the lathe that is aligned
with the horizon is broken, choppy and, in parts, missing/invisible.  When
in the camera is set to ortho the entire lathe is as such.  Am I the only
one having this problem?  Is there any work around?

TIA

Forgot an important detail.  This problem is mostly prevalent when using the
quadratic spline type.

Are you using the "sturm" keyword with the spline ? If not try it.

Thanks!  That did the trick.  Note to self, read POV's help file before
annoying people on the newsgroups;)

LOL, I think everyone has done both a time or two. Bugged the NG, and
forgotten 'sturm.'
