--- Creates a dome shape with the given node, optionally specifying the
-- direction the point should point.
-- @param	pos				Vector3		The central point to start drawing the dome from.
-- @param	radius			number		The radius of the dome to create.
-- @param	replace_node	string		The fully qualified name of the node to use to make the dome with.
-- @param	pointing_dir	Vector3		Optional. The direction the dome should point. Defaults to (0, 1, 0). See also wea.parse.axis_name.
-- @param	hollow			boolean		Whether to make the dome hollow or not. Defaults to false.
