Summary	0000875: pov file created from demo is missing objects
Description	When I export the robot example /usr/share/freecad/Mod/Start/StartPage/LoadRobotExample.py to pov the robot is never shown - a small cone underneath always appears. Have tried to hide/show the robot and nothing changes (same MD5 sum on all exported pov files). Perhaps this is intentional?
Additional Information	OS: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Platform: 32-bit Version: 0.13.1600 (Git) Branch: master Hash: 4ee5f7df475f1d9bc35d19e48a8b4fc87706984a Python version: 2.7.3 Qt version: 4.8.1 Coin version: 3.1.3 SoQt version: 1.5.0 OCC version: 6.5.0 1. Open FreeCAD via menu 2. From the start page click on "Load a Robot simulation example" 3. Change to "complete" mode 4. Raytracing menu: "Export view to povray" 5. Hide the robot by clicking on its label in "Labels and attributes" and "hide selection" 6. Raytracing menu: "Export view to povray" 7. md5sum or diff both povray files - they will match. 8. Show the robot and export povray - same checksum as before (no change) When rendering a small cone appears instead of the robot - this cone can be seen when the robot is hidden. The actual robot never appears in the rendering. Here's the consule trace. povray file attached too. import WebGui from StartPage import StartPage WebGui.openBrowserHTML(StartPage.handle(),'file://' + App.getResourceDir() +
