Hi Shyane, I've not been at my desk too consistently this last few weeks due to school holidays, so not able to dig down into all threads.
A couple of general comments. If intersections are slow then consider enabling the building KdTree's on your scene graph, this will greatly improve performance. In osgDB::Options and osgDB::Registry there is a setBuildKdTreesHint(..) method that you can use. Robert.
