Does anyone know a trick or something to build a prim with a hollow bigger than 95?

From: Are Lisle Does anyone know a trick or something to build a prim with a hollow bigger than 95? I don't believe you can do that. The closest you could come might be to make two prims, hollow both to 95%, and make all but the outside surface of one and all but the inside surface of the other 100% alpha textured. By playing with the dimensions a bit, you could then make the prim appear to have zero-thickness walls. The "outer" prim would be a bit smaller than the "inner" prim, moving its outer surface in to where the inner surface of the other one is.

You could also use two sculpties, one of which is turned inside out. (To do that, invert the original bitmap in any paint program before importing it to SL.) For a simple sphere, this doesn't have any big advantage over Ceera's suggestion. But it is an easy way to make 0-width walls for any shape you can make with a sculpty.
(Only one side of a sculpty surface is rendered, so you don't have to fuss with hiding unwanted faces with transparent textures.)

transparent alpha textures on the inside top and bottom makes it super thin then scale a second prim and transparent alpha textures on the outside top and bottom
