[osg-users] Intersect Point Cloud wth precision

[Robert Osfield]

HI Bruno,

For a point cloud you may be best to implement your own
osgUtil::Intersector, the design is meant to facilitate this,
LineSegmentIntersector and PolytopeIntersector are both examples of
subclasses from Intersector so you could use these as inspriation.
