My application has 3 different j3d views.
Each of my j3d view contains one to two cylinders.
The code segment for cylinder creation looks like this ...


            int[] parts = {Cylinder.TOP, Cylinder.BODY, Cylinder.BOTTOM};

            Cylinder cylinder = new Cylinder(radius, dist);

            for (int i = 0; i < parts.length; i++) {
                Shape3D shape = cylinder.getShape(parts[i]);
                if (shape != null) {
                    /* set shape capability here */
                Geometry geometry = shape.getGeometry();
                 if (geometry != null) {
                       geometry.setCapability(Geometry.ALLOW_INTERSECT);
                 }
             }
            }

The first view and second view work perfectly.  The third view
does not allow me to set the capability of the body geometry.
The error says the geometry is "live".  I checked the shape
of the body cylinder.  It is NOT live.  How can the geometry
be "live"?  I have not attached the cylinder to any transform
group yet.  Why does the code work for the other two views?
