	In the GeomSequence interface, the GeomInfo methods give information about the finalized geometry of the geometry sequence. However, for a GeomSequence whose component's geometric model is defined by a MeshSequence, the GeomInfo methods instead return information about that geometric model. The behavior in this case might change in a future version. GeomSequence.obj gives information about a geometry object resulting from a geometry feature.
