Hi Sanat,

The way I would tackle the task would be to write a ClinderIntersector
class along the lines of the existing osgUtil::LineSegmentIntersector.
  The only major difference would be how you do the intersection tests
with the bounding spheres, and bounding boxes of the nodes during the
IntersectionVisitor traversal, and the intersection tests of the
cylinder against the geometry data found in the Drawable leaves.
