No time to work on this today, but I have flagged it. Sounds like easy
fixes. I might not be setting the initial transform in x3d now. If you have
an older version of an x3d file that works, could you send me that along
with the one that doesn't work. Should be something at the very top of
those that is different. Probably something very simple, like a broken tag
or something.
