It's a lathe object, and I rotated it slightly just to make sure I could see
all the way through it. Without a texture it looks like a hollow tube ...
btw: when it's textured hollow on or off appears to make no difference. It
indeed appears to be acting like a solid object.

Just to be clear about it I'm running 3.6.1 on linux ... I'm not on that
machine now but planned on doing some more testing (purely trial and error
at this point) this evening .... perhaps I should post a couple of relevent
code segments to see if anyone can spot what's going on here.

yes that describes what we're seeing perfectly ....  the effect gets more
pronounced as ior is increased.

I don't recall (it's someone elses macro) but I'll check

Thanks
