| Summary | 0001222: \Raytracing\Templates\ install folder missing - file ProjectStd.pov missing - Povray error StdFinish undefined | ||||
| Description | Windows When Raytracing - Povray gives error and no raytrace rendered. Folder exists; C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCAD0.13\data\Mod\ But sub folders missing; .\Raytracing\Templates\ Hence file ProjectStd.pov is missing (which defines StdFinish) hence Povray error. | ||||
| Additional Information | Likely cause - msi does not create empty folders. So file ProjectStd.pov must be missing from msi project. Minor: If people know Povray. Major: If people don't know Povray and just want a render. Workaround: (a) Create folders C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCAD0.13\data\Mod\Raytracing\Templates (b) In folder create file ProjectStd.pov containing minimum; #declare StdFinish = finish { diffuse 0.2 specular 0.6 } Proficient Povray users can add their own sky_shere, floor plane, background planes, etc. (as is already defined in ProjectStd.pov) | ||||

The pov templates are indeed not included with the MSI installer and should be added to WindowsInstaller/FreeCADData.wxs. Jürgen or Werner, if any of you reads this, is it sufficient to simply add needed stuff there? How do you generate the UID? |
|
|
Under Windows there is a utility "uuidgen.exe" which gets installed with Visual Studio I guess. |
