Well, i tried it in osgviewer and there was no clipping.  any ideas as to what 
might cause this in my app?
Thanks,
-Ben

Hi Ben,

The visuals do look like they suggest a problem with the near/far
computation or clamping of near/far.  I'm not aware of a bugs in the
bounding box calculation of ShapeDrawable, but it could certainly be
an area to look into.  Could you output the model to .osg, test this
in osgviewer to see if the problem still exists and if it does then
post this model so others can test against it.

Robert.
