[cgma-dev] Inconsistency in getEntities for iGeom interface. Causes problems in iRel.

[Jane Hu]

I see in iGeom_CGMA.cc file, function iGeom_get_adjacent_entities, if asks
for 3-D refentities, it returns body list. In CGM, bodies are not necessary
to be 3-D entities, it may contain single surface or shell. Should we
change the return to be only refvolumes which are 3-D entities (I prefer
this, makes more sense)? Or I can return both bodies and refvolumes in the
returned refentity list. Depending on your user case, I can return one of
the two choices.
