Issue 4538: What are units for 'angle' field in TessParametersStruct                                                                                                                                                (cad-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: adGeometry IDL comment documents the 'angle' field in CadGeometry.TessParametersStruct
as "deviation between normals of facets".

Neither the IDL nor the CAD Services spec. indicate what angular units should be used.

Resolution: This oversight was corrected by indicating the required use of degrees for angle units.
Revised Text: Text modified on page 2- 36 to state: Angle units are degrees.

Another good comment. The submission team's agreement was to use
degrees for all angular information, but it appears that this did not
get included in the document.
