Introduzione
I moduli e  forniscono diversi metodi per scrivere i contenuti della scena come dati povray o luxrender.

The most useful commands are and  to render a FreeCAD Part object into a povray or luxrender definition, and  and  to get the current point of view of the 3D view window into povray or luxrender format.

Outputting render files
Here is how to write a povray file from python, assuming your document contains a "Box" object:
