SceneIORewrite: Serialize Geometries
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Description:
Adding a description to FileWriters/Readers that says whether they handle geometries

Use-Case:
We had PointSets and Surfaces that don’t serialize their geometry. This means loss of data/information and could be a general problem to be solved.

Proposed Implementation:
It seems reasonable to solve this using properties. Geometries can be seen as a subset of properties, and can be serialized accordingly: either by the basedata if possible, or in a sidecar if necessary.

I would advise against mixing scene concepts with basedata concepts. If the fileformat doesn't support geometries, we should keep them out of the responsibilities of the filereader and writer.
