Hi Anoop Kumar, you recently wrote in moray.win:

But a bezier patch is seldomly a solid object. I think MegaPOV can
handle CSG with patches (or triangles meshes for that matter) only if
they are closed (solid) objects. Otherwise there is no correct way of
displaying that.

But then Moray would be undoing exactly what it wants to avoid ->
turning everything into triangles. Moray is NOT a triangle modeller,
which is what is required to do any sort of vertex editing. In
POV-Ray/Moray there are no vertices to edit when you are working with
CSG.

That said, I do agree, however, that triangle modelling part of Moray
would be very useful in many ways. But look at the triangle modellers
out there, what they offer (and what they cost) and you can clearly
see that it's going to be a bit difficult to offer this as a part of
Moray....

Hmmmm, I would have thought that architectural work is ideally suited
to using CSG.....
