Yes, the "hollow" keyword is confusing. But I believed the normals were
unaffected. Aren't they? What I understood is that the object still has a
clearly determined outside and inside - hence you can use interior{}and csg,
but you need to hollow the object to fill it with media.

Is there any planned change for that behaviour?

I do not understand why you need "hollow" to use interior{media} and not
(iirc) interior{ior} (And I really mean that I do not understand, not
anything else - there are probably technical reasons, I just do not know
them) . Is there any case where there is an advantage in using an
interior{media} in a non hollow object? BTW I'd be happy to be able to have
an object inside a media to be filled either by it's own media only or with
it's and the surrounding medias without having to use tricky csg.


Povingly,
