Hello dear list-members,
I get strange results with bounds, I'm afraid.
I'd aglad if anybody could help me...
(I'm using Java 1.3 and Java 3D 1.2)

Problem 1:
Can anybody explain this to me? or is it a bug?
I tried to transform a BoundingSphere centrum with a translation, thinking
it would transform the Center of it accordingly.

This is an output snippet:

t3d=
1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 3.0
0.0, 0.0, 1.0, -100.0
0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0

centrum.getBounds().transform(t3d)

centrum.getBounds():Center=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)  Radius=-1.0

Problem 2:
I wrote some code to visualize the Bounding-objects, because I'd like to see
what Java3D auto-calculates. But I couldnt figure out how to calculate a
Polygon from a BoundingPolytope which resembles it. 
Did anyone code this? Please send it to me, I'd like to go on with my
Project...


Problem 3:
I'm not sure anymore, but I think that the auto-computation of a Bounds-object
from another yields always a bigger Bounds-object. Is this Intention? 

(I've got no possibility to access my sources at the moment, else I'd have
had them attached)

thanks in advance,
Axel
