[osg-users] Crash when using LineSegmentIntersector

Hi Robert,

Thanks for taking the time to write up your post - very informative.

Most of the OSG examples use Geodes. What is the type you would use for a modern scene graph?

This is a very real possibility. To keep it short and sweet: I have a plugin that returns a geode from a custom file format. There is supporting data associated with the format such as walkable flags. I use Geodes to group together drawables (using the visitor) to draw them if the user wants to see them. Basically debug data for the node.

Understood. Is there a best practice I can align myself with? Should I be handling that all in the plugin loader and potentially use something like osg::Switch to turn them on and off?

Thanks, Sam
