[source] Xj3D problem with USE rendering; BeachTanks.x3d example

[Don Brutzman]

Hi Terry.

There is a problem with USE nodes not acting identically to DEF nodes in the sourceforge Xj3D.

I added DEF labels to all the transformed geometry in the attached scene, the screenshot shows that USE node is not rendering.  Either they are failing completely, or else (not likely but possible) the USEd geometry is not keeping properly track of geometry fields for ccw and solid.

also the following link is a prior screenshot from some time ago, showing all geometry.  so the problem has crept in recently.  sourceforge svn can reveal dates of snapshot if needed.

p.s. while debugging this scene I made a number of improvements to X3D-Edit IFS and ILS editors, they are checked in and will be in next build.

all the best, Don
