Full Version: LPub - Final Step without Parts

Hello! I am new and have a quick question about creating instructions from LDraw using LPub.

The step before last on my model has parts being added to the underside of a rotated model so I added another step with an end rotation step, thinking this would flip the model for the final image, but it seems LPub will not add a page for a step unless it has a part in it. The step loads in the list, followed by the rotation end step, but will not create a page unless I insert another piece into the end rotation step back in LDraw. While this works, I then have to delete the parts list on the LPub page and make sure I hide the piece inside the model in LDraw and it's kind of a pain. Can anyone help me understand how to create a 'step' that just presents the final model? You know that last page in the instructions where the building is done and it's just the model? That's what I'm after.

I could add in a separately rendered image but I was hoping to do it in LPub so it all looks the same. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. My googles keep turning up stuff about public libraries.
Problem is that an empty (without adding parts) step doesn't generate an image. To solve this, in the empty rotstep, add a BUFEXCHG A STORE followed by a BUFEXCHG A RETRIEVE.
Wow thank you very much, that's exactly what I needed. Really appreciate the help!
