[x3d-public] Field access in V4.0 geometric nodes

[Leonard Daly]

Yves,

The definition for Torus was taken from X3DOM. I have not done anything 
with that, including trying to determine if the fields are correct or 
even if the node is desirable.

So since you have raised this, is Torus a good node to have with other 
primitive shapes? If it is a good node to have, are there other Pyramid, 
octahedron, mobius strip, etc?

What should the key size/shape fields be? InitializeOnly was chosen for 
the initial shapes so that the player could optimize the display and 
processing. That was 20 years ago. Is that still needed?

(e.g. radius in Sphere)

This is currently a work in progress so there are areas that are not complete and insufficiently specified. I am interested in hearing from people who wish to contribute.
