LDPub3D - assembly scale vs camera distance

[Jaco van der Molen]

Yes, that appears to be the problem.  I'm using 2.3.12.  Thanks for the pointer on that.

I tried to run the updater (via the 'check for updates' function).  But once it closes lpub3d, nothing happens.  My original install is via the ldraw AIOI, and based on this post it seems dicey to try and upgrade.  Any thoughts on how best to do that?  Perhaps I should re-install using the lpub3d installer directly?

Yes, re-install is better.
You could also try the portable version. Download the zip from SourceForge and extract somewhere, i.e. C:\LEGO\LPub3D
