I'll look into it. I can't think of a good reason for this behavior. Must be a nasty bug. Rendering to the screen will not increase the drawing time if you select the menu option to "Draw whole model" rather than "Draw a piece at a time". The selection is remembered, so you only have to set it once. Not sure if there is a command line option for it yet. (In general I want to move away from the windows interface and just be a command-line driven program). Best way to report these bugs is to used the ldlite-developement mailing list at sourceforge. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ldlite-development I usually don't have time to read lugnet anymore, plus this way it gets archived and sent to anyone who is subscribed (currently only me). -gyug > Hi Paul > > I am using LDLite to render my latest model.
