A week or so ago I sent a mail to this news group about a problem I was
getting when loading a VRML shape and when I was picking it to query the Local
coordinates I was getting unexpected results in that I should have been
getting clicks in the range 1.6 to 0.0  instead I was getting 0.8 to -0.8!  I
noted your response so decided to investigate it a bit more to see if I could
understand what was happening.  I built another smaller application that just
had the displaying of the VRML shape and a pick behavior on it to query the
local coords.  I am still getting the same problems!  When I insert a basic
shape created from my own geometry I have no problems which lets me think it
is not my pick routine.

You mentioned that if I sent a test file etc you would look at it is the offer
still open?  If so I can mail you a zip file with the Java files and VRML file
you will need to test it with.

Yours Phil Colbert :)
