Shaun,
thanks for the response....
My idea here is to let the geometry sit still while I
move my view point (all ways looking at 0,0,0) around
the object. I want to start by moving my 'point of
view' to each of the axis.
Given your advice, which Transform3D object would I
use to call the method (lookAt) from??? I have a
Transform3D object for each piece of geometry, but
none (that I am aware of) for the view... Maybe I am
missing something here...
sorry for novice nature...
