I have not yet figured out how to get povray to produce the output I want, so here is a rough (non-raytraced) rendering of the whole set of modules I intend to make.
I will try to make a more viewable version early next week.

Triangulum Research 
Still having trouble getting a good rendering. None of the 3D products I’ve tried seem to integrate smoothly with one-another.
The problem we’ve been having is that the parts seem to lose color or polygon info when move them between products.
The crude rendering above is a snapshot from the view window of FreeCAD. For reasons I don’t fully understand, Freecad will not export this to Povray or LuxRender because it is not a “Part”, and FreeCAD apparently cannot convert the objects to “Parts”.
My friend Kristen is working on getting a good render using Rhino and Flamingo. We’ll see if it works.
