Check "select texture" then click on the inside face, and apply your spherical projection to the inside.

Or do you mean how do you create a spherical projection?

Google for "spherical projection" or "spheremaps".

Kay, it's easy, if you have the seamless panorama with the spherical projection all ready to go, and uploaded as a Power of 2 texture.

Make a sphere, with a 95.0 hollow
Dimple the top (End), so you can get to the inside.
Put the panorama image on the inside face.
Put a totally transparent texture on the outside.
Close the dimple.

And that's all there is to it.

Hope this helps!

Ihaving done an unsuccessful 'search' on this, i opened a new thread about texturing the interior of a dome ...and then i saw that this thread is already open, duhhhhh.... sorry.

Yet it does not quite answer how I apply the photo texture of an extant classical dome to its interior in SL.... hmmmm
