This Moray PlugIn Implements a Column interface. It can create 8 types of column:-

Plain

Doric

Ionic

Church

Spiral

Torus

Corinthian

Egyptian

Use the new Column Menu (now in the PlugIn Menu) to create a column of your choice.

Installation Instructions

Copy the .dll file into the Moray PlugIn directory.

Copy the Corinth.mdl file to the Moray\mdl directory.

Thats all there is to it!!

Evalutating a Column before saving it and reloading it can cause Moray to GPF.

The Corinthian column MAY cause a GPF and may lockup your machine if you create a Corinthian with other columns present -

Workaround by creating a Corinthian column on it's own saving as an object then loading your main scene folowed by merging the Corinthian column object.

None.

If you do find any bugs/features or would like more features added

Things To Do

============

1. I am not happy with the Spiral Column - I will probably change it sometime!

2. Both the Spiral and the Ionic Columns use only spheres to create the spiral effects. I may change this to spheres and cones, which should give a much smoother appearance.

3. Add my new torus version of Ionic Column based loosely on Nathan Kopps column inc - thanks for the inspiration Nathan (this will greatly decrease the number of primitives used - speeding up the redrawing).

The newest version of the Columns PlugIn will always be available @

The link at the bottom of my Povray page should allow anyone to download it.

Many thanks to Lutz and the POV Team.

Added torus column

Cleaned up code

Replaced Lutzs Icon with one of my own

Scaled all columns to be the same relative size

Changed the column menu to be part of the PlugIn menu -

due to popular demand (also it seemed more sensible ;-)

Added Corinthian and Egyptian Columns.

Added an HTML version of the text file.
