Before you get too excited, I should point out that I have given up on the
IDTF/X3D format. The bugs in the PDF implementation are so significant that
I don't think anyone could actually use this. The documentation for
IDTFConverter has major errors, and although finally by looking at the
source code for creating IDTF files I was able to work out the actual rules,
even then I simply could not figure out how to get a zoom setting or
anything like a "centered rotation" to work. As I recall they actually say
in the documentation that there is "no default view" -- which, of course,
there is -- it's just that it is different for different viewers.
I think Warren Delano showed me how the surface business (was that it?) in
X3D format is flawed. I'm not remembering the details.
While all of this could just be due to my incomplete understanding of the
format, there isn't much help out there to make it easy.
