But what is the point of a ground plane if it is not covering the ground, then it is just a plane in the air!
The simplicity is perfect as it is, but the margin just needs to be 100 times bigger!
Edit:
Hacked the python files from the git page :)

This is perfect (the ground is the render looks bad :lol: ):

I was just doing the same, but adding it as a parameter in the project...
So, from now, there is a 'Ground Plane Size Factor' parameter in the project, you can set the value you want (default is 1, but any float value is allowed).

Yeah I saw you setting it up for me even before I knew I needed it! Awesome!

Help, I can't seem to get the Render Workbench to work on my Windows installation. I keep getting the following error messages, such as the following:

18:36:45 Running the Python command 'Render_Render' failed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Andrei\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\Render\Render.py", line 1056, in Activated
project.Proxy.render()
File "C:\Users\Andrei\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\Render\Render.py", line 586, in render
ImageGui.open(img)

Could not load image file

I've attached a file that I'm working on. The individual objects are brought together using Assembly 4, and this is supposed to be used as a guide for assembling a larger machine. I need renders for the guide, and the Raytracing WB and POV-Ray Rendering WB can't add the objects into view for some reason (I think because Assembly 4 only links to the documents containing the original Body).

I'd rather work on this using assemblies because there are over 100 parts in the machine I'm modeling, and one sub-assembly will repeat 108 times!

Please help me!

Hello,
It appears that your files do not contain any rendering project, is that normal?
If I add a rendering project in 'V-1906 Tangential Creel_individual feed rail-assm', I can get the following rendering:

I attach the modified FCStd, for illustration.
Is that OK for you?
