Hi Folks,

Can someone check me on this behaviour? In the doc's for Megapov (0.5a)
it states that double_illuminate is used in the same way as hollow and
no_shadow. As I recall, hollow and no_shadow propagate down a CSG so
that

union {
  object { ... }
  object { ... }
  texture { ... }
  hollow
}

makes both objects hollow, the same as writing

union {
  object { ... hollow }
  object { ... hollow }
  texture { ... }
}

and no_shadow behaves in the same fashion.

However, when double_illuminate is used in the same way the first syntax
does _not_ seem to produce objects that double_illuminate.

I've only looked at unions so I don't know if this applies to the other
CSG types. I would guess it does. So the question is, _should_
double_illuminate propagate down the CSG tree? Or do the doc's simply
need changing to stste that it does not propagate and you must
explicitly set this flag for each object in a CSG?

Bye for now,
