Hmm. That's what someone else just told me. It does seem logical though
that the solid object (A) should stay a solid object and not be skinned.
:) Oh well.

I could have sworn it worked properly back in 3.0 a few days ago though.
Let me check.... Nope. How'd I miss that before? Bad lighting maybe. ;-)

Look in povray.general. I'll post a pic there. Not that it matters, I
