HI Andrey, The OSG's Shape objects original purpose was to provide mathematically defined shapes in support of physics engines. So there isn't an attempt to provide an exhaustive range of different types of shapes, only the ones useful for physics engines.
For going beyond this set there is essentially an open ended list of shapes one might want to create, so rather than chase this one simply lets the user create an osg::Geometry the shape they require. For rendering purposes I generally recommend that users avoid using the osg::Shape classes as well as the are not written to optimize rendering performance, the render side for them is just a convenience function.
