So, you're trying to export from CAD to STL so that you can render in POV-RAY
while you're in the process of making edits to the "mesh" model?


I'm wondering if you can somehow use FreeCAD in your workflow?

This is some pretty impressive work that you've done, and the results look
_really_ nice.   I wish I had some LISP or other language programming experience
to better offer a viable solution.

Hopefully someone who does will eventually see this thread and have some
suggestions.
Leroy and Dick Balaska seem to do a fair bit of coding like this.

I'm certainly interested in learning more about your work and how to implement
it.   There are a lot of people who _want_ to use POV-Ray but don't, because
there is no actively-supported modeler.

The rest of us use CSG, or some of us are driven to distraction writing
specialized workarounds....  ;)
