What is the best and easiest way to get a good quality 2D render of an LDraw file?
I'm looking to make some set files for BlueBrick and I need (good) 2D renders of a top view.

I do them in LDView. Just fiddle all its shading techniques etc. until you're happy.

Trouble with LDView is that if I take a top view from e.g. the Kingdoms Castle, the3D render will give me a distorted 2D view: the base will be smaller than the top and so the image will take up more width than it should.

Did you set the viewing angle to 0.1.

Nop, didn't know that was an option, but I found it (Preferences>General>Misc>Field of view) and the result is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
