Hi Janet,
The picking utilities are extremely buggy. Let me show you the list of
items I've found:
1. picking does not work with geometry by reference.
2. picking does not work with indexed geometry.
3. the method PickIntersection.getClosestVertexIndex() returns only an
int from 0-3 for quads, 0-2 for triangles, etc.
4. the method PickIntersection.getPointCoordinates returns odd values.
I've submitted these to Sun. Basically, I've had very little luck with
trying to change geometry at runtime. It can be done, but it is very kludgy
because you have to work around all these limitations. I recognize it is a
beta version, but I am disappointed with the picking utilities.
Cheers,
B.
