Neither TNode nor TVolume classes tests whether their internal shapes
are intersected. Been drawn such TNode (or TVolume) will look like the solid object
made of a sphere with a cylinder for example. However strictly say this object is not 
what you want since one has no method to say whether the shapes are intersected
and where.
