ReferencePoint

The ReferencePoint scene element is similar in use the Anchor object. Since all Atmosphere worlds contain at least
one ReferencePoint, it may be a useful way to specify a common location as you design your worlds. (Note that the
primary usage for ReferencePoint is found in the Atmosphere authoring application, where it is used to specify the
placement of any new objects or primitives during construction. Note also that the ReferencePoint has no name
property, as it cannot be named in the Authoring Appliation.)
