write (an email) in Italian if you prefer.  (I've Google Translate to hand :-))

the file you pass to POV-Ray already is a mesh I assume; I looked at your
'furgone' and 'bmwvintage' files.  problem 1 -- you pass a mesh to POV-Ray.
meaning, that will simply get parsed and "we" (users) get no information.
problem 2 -- selective overwriting, no can do.  if you could pass CSV files with
(sets of three) vectors, then one could read and process those, and "line
numbers" and eliminating unwanted triangles would become "doable" (if slow).
with your current file format, ie fully specified meshes, POV-Ray is the wrong
tool, imo.
