I encountered a strange behaviour of Povray 3.6 when doing CSG with a mesh2
object where some parts of the object, reflection and shadow is missing.

Please have a look at
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3Cweb.4110ab4b4cb2fb55602399d40%40news.povray.org%3E/
for an example image with detailed description.

Your posting lacks the complete source code of the scene the problem 
occurs in.  When using meshes in CSG make sure you carefully read the 
documentation of 'inside_vector'.

Thanks for the hint. Adding an 'inside_vector' solved the problem.

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to get the "boxed-look" on HF's in povray?
My HF's are ultra thin...and I like to add some thickness to them. I
remember that with the DOS versions I always got that boxed look, but with
the win version I'm not able to get it right.

Thanks

Hi CJ. You'll need to intersect or difference a box and the HF since they
are only a one unit square with an implied depth.

intersection {
    height_field {...} // could texture this here
    box {0,1} // could texture this here
// or both here
}
