other data) within the part. This allows a solid object to be queried by the balance of the program. This also requires the addition of two methods to the OpenSCADObject class - the first to find a part identified by id in an existing tree - the second to get a named dimension from a part identified by id.

The changes consist of modifications to the part class, as well as some methods in the base OpenSCADObject class to allow finding parts by id, finding dimensions of a nominated part.
At the moment it assumes that a part is created in a separate function, and that that function's arguments correspond to the part's dimensions.
