Okay, a bit cryptic but I think I gotcha.

To be able to read it,
it matters which utility generates the mesh/mesh2.

Here is what I was able to test:

Can the mesh be read?

If generated by PoseRay v.0.1
Mesh - No
Mesh2 - No

If generated by CrossRoads v1
Mesh - Yes
Mesh2 - N/A

If generated by Win3D v4.3
Mesh - N/A
Mesh2 - No

If generated by MeshComp v3
Mesh - Yes
Mesh2 - Yes

If generated by POV-Ray v3.5
Mesh - Yes
Mesh2 - N/A

Not sure if it is a bug, but it means to me that
the only way I can get from a commercial format, such
as .obj, to PCM is via generating plain mesh in CrossRoads.
