[osg-users] IntersectionVisitor and PagedLOD

[Robert Osfield]

Hi Serge,

IntersectionVisitor isn't cast in concrete so I'm open to suggestions.
 I don't really know the motivation as I don't know about your the
particulars of your app.  I am a bit concerned about bloating
IntersectionVisitor with lots of specific usage case tweaks though.  I
don't know if it would be possible you to solve your problem another
way.  Feel free to make changes to IntersectionVisitor and submit them
for review - at least then I'd be able to mull over how intrusive the
changes might be.

Robert.
