If you have a pfHit containing an intersection, you can get the local
point of intersection by querying the pfHit with the PFQHIT_POINT
flag... But what if I want the point in world coordinates?.. I know I
can use PFQHIT_PATH to get the path to the object and, using the SCS and
DCS nodes, determine where that point would be, but is this the best
way?

I looked at pfGeoSet.h, and the transformation to world coordinates is
actually stored in the pfHit, but as protected data.. Shouldn't there be
a way to get at it?

Thanks,
Bryan
