Hello again,

I would like to clarify and further explain my problem.  The behavior using
the BoundingLeaf is awakened when the ViewPlatform is "close" to the origin
and its wakeup criteria are satisfied.  However, when the ViewPlatform is
translated far enough away from the origin (about a distance > 62 - the
activation radius) the behavior ceases to be awakened for its criteria.  But
the BoundingLeaf used by the behavior has the SAME parent as the
ViewPlatform.  Would not the BoundingLeaf be translated with the
ViewPlatform considering they are both children of the same TransformGroup?

Any suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you in advanced.

Sincerely,

Joe Boccanfuso

Subject: [JAVA3D] BoundingLeaf


Hello all,

I am attempting to add a BoundingLeaf to my View Platform for an "Always-On"
bounds.  Unfortunately, I have not been successful.  I followed the
guidelines in section 3.7 of the Java 3D tutorial exactly and still was not
successful.  I also tried searching the e-mail archive and found that others
have had trouble with this (about a year ago), but I found no (helpful)
answers.

Here are the steps I took (in a nutshell)...

-created a BoundingLeaf node and set its region to a bounding sphere of
radius 1
-added the BoundingLeaf to the same parent (transform) group as my
ViewPlatform
-set my behavior's scheduling bounding leaf as the BoundingLeaf; note that
my behavior has no transforms applied to it

Have I done something wrong?  Any suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you in
advanced.

Sincerely,

Joe Boccanfuso
