I have been having a similar problem. I thought it was something simple
like setting bounds or using a PickRay pointing the wrong direction. I went
from using the PickTool with your OpenFlt loader to trying to make it work
with HelloUniverse - no success at all. I'm trying to pick a location on
the ground (terrain loaded with your OpenFlt loader) independent of the
mouse or viewpoint, then get the elevation of the intersection point. When
I try to access the PickResult at runtime, I get a null pointer exception
because there's nothing there. If you have any suggestions at all I'd love
to hear them.

Subject: [JAVA3D] Picking bug in 1.2Beta2
>I have been having allot of trouble getting the PickTool to work
>correctly with our OpenFLT loader.
>I assumed that something in the way the loader is building the scene was
>causing the PickTool to fail when using GEOMETRY_INTERSECT_INFO. So I
>tried using the PickTest code in our viewer on objects made in that from
>the example code. After much testing, and then finally a quick test on
>the actual running PickTest demo, I can definitely see that
>GEOMETRY_INTERSECT_INFO collisions fail when it should return
>collisions. Let me clarify, the actual example demo fails!

>I can set the demo to GEOMETRY_INTERSECT_INFO and when I try to pick
>certain objects in the window (not the wireframe, the regular polygons
>objects), sometimes it works on certain areas and sometimes it does
>not. What's really strange is that if I just set it back to GEOMETRY,
>the picking works and accurately to the objects shape! This must mean
>that the picking routines are different for GEOMETRY and
>GEOMETRY_INTERSECT_INFO, which I would think are nearly the same (but of
>course that doesn't really matter).

>Has this bug been posted, because it is not on the BUGS/ISSUES page, and
>if so what is the status?
>Thanks
