I have two completely independent, but coincident beams. Why are their
displacements being averaged.


This occurs when 3d beam shapes are requested with PowerGraphics [/ESHAPE,1.]
A workaround is to switch to Full graphics [/GRAPH,FULL], but a 3d image cannot be
displayed. The behavior can be seen in the input below.
