      Hello!

      I have searched the internet and these forums but have found nothing which answers my question... I have found a POVray source code http://www.home.no/t-o-k/POV-Ray/Villarceau_Circles-CSG.txt which I would really really like to import into sketchup as I just cannot seem to get the model right - in particular the curved, angled wrap around silver bars picture of rendered model here... http://www.home.no/t-o-k/POV-Ray/Villarceau_Circles-CSG.jpg (apologies for lack of a technical description!)

      Is there anyway of being able to use the source code to generate a model within sketchup which I could then experiment with?

      Thanks in advance!!

        I tihnk itd be a lot easier to model the shape in SU than to try and import it from the POV ray file. I'll try and put together a quick tutorial if i get time.
