Multi-instance with buffered shapes

MultiInstancingBufferedShape - This example shows SoMultipleInstance with buffered shapes.

DESCRIPTION:

MultiInstancingBufferedShapes displays a scene containing a set of NumXxNumYxNumZ SoBufferedShape representing a CAD standard part containing about 34000 triangles and loaded from an external .iv file: screw_buffered_shape.iv. A GUI is set up with three sliders connected to the number of instances created along the X, the Y and Z world axes. The instances are disposed with a regular geometrical pattern in space, inside a cube, with scale factors applied and rotations applied in a cycle.

Commands on user interface, three sliders available;

NumX	Instances number along X axis.
NumY	Instances number along Y axis.
NumZ	Instances number along Z axis.
