[x3d-public] Sphere subdivision in to X3DV4 standard

[Joseph D Williams]

➢ … during models lifetime

So much is true, please notice the access type of the field.
If it is initialize only, then it is set when the node is initialized or replaced. 
This has been used as a clue that the browser has to completely redraw the node if the field is changed. 
Of course the sphere’s shape can be altered by xyz scaling in the parent transform so you can change the shape to most anything without a hole but not the initialized radius in parent space or the number of points in the shape without redrawing it. 
Thanks, 
Joe

Surely you can apply transforms such that the radius changes?

But according to the X3D standards, a sphere may not change its single
parameter (radius)
during models lifetime.
