Would someone help me (with a scene file) how can I add an interior to a
mesh2 object (made in Wings3d 0.97.05 and exported with wingspov 0.97.05 .
In the POV manual (concerning the mesh2) I only found texture (not
material).

Thanks: Peter

You do it the same way as with every other shape, just put an interior{} 
block in the shape block. The mesh2 documentation doesn't cover adding 
an interior because it doesn't need to. Materials are something else, a 
way to group a texture with an interior for easier handling in the scene.

I think if the mesh already has a texture list you may want to comment 
it out in the mesh2 code along with the references to it then add the 
material using an object wrapper

If you are okay with the textures named in the mesh2, then you can add 
the interior using an object wrapper.

Also of course, declare it to be hollow
