Purpose

The node SoProfileCoordinate3 defines a set of 2D coordinates to be used by subsequent SoProfile (i.e., SoNurbsCurve and SoLinearProfile) nodes. This node does not produce a visible result during rendering; it simply replaces the current profile coordinates in the traversal state for subsequent nodes to use.

No profile curve should intersect itself or another profile curve.

The third element of the coordinate vectors is used for normalization. A node of this type where all the normalization values are equal to 1.0 is the equivalent of setting up an SoProfileCoordinate2 node.

Note that an SoProfileCoordinate3 node will replace the profile coordinates already present in the state (if any).
