[cgma-dev] [MOAB-dev] Problems with ReadCGM

[Tim Tautges]

This might be related to calling the wrong overloaded function in CGM, for get_graphics or something related to it.

Could you run the cubit-based code under gdb, stop in GeometryQueryEngine::get_graphics (all instances, if multiple), 
and print a stack trace?  That would help determine which variants are being called on the way down to the function.
