Update a Part entity.

Sent to update part rendering attributes. Parts have Geom entity children that define the bulk data arrays.

The material name needs additional work. If 'steel' or 'glass' are specified, are we expecting the client to come up with shaders for those materials, or just informing that fill\_color and shininess parameters are steel-like or glass-like. General thinking is to use common namespaces (e.g. granta, etc) for known material specifications and namespace prefixed JSON for others (e.g. ensight:{json payload}
