That explains a lot, the main glass part being a surface-only and not
having thickness. Makes sense now about the way it looks. Couldn't you
double up on the bezier and inverse it's surface to make it have a
thickness? Might be better, and might not, with refraction involved.
It's a pain to get things lined up right but if you did that and also
clipped the toroids where they meet the beziers it would have a truer
look.
