The file was exported from 3DWin5 that comes with Rheinhart, from a 3dsMax
file. Quite pleased that I can raytrace models from 3dsmax, but of course
the textures dont come over properly. They are not transparent so I added to
make up the following settings....I'll attach the whole set of files -
that's probably tidier:

I noticed last night that I had no refractive setting on my material, but
that made no difference.
