In fact secondary ray seem to work with transparency only if refraction is not
set to 1.
It seems mentalray switch to scanline for refraction = 1.

 couldn't find anything in the archive regarding this so here goes.... has
anyone else noticed that the secondary ray feature doesn't always work... I

grid but wen I render, the objet still renders... anyone??
