Hi You can use the MouseZoom. It works similar to the MouseTranslate. A goog toturial is this from sun. http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/collateral/ Here you can download the hole toturial. In chapter 4 on page 4-34 you can find the MouseZoom and this is for the z-Axis Best regards Patrik -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Discussion list for Java 3D API [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von Naganandhini Kohareswaran Gesendet: Samstag, 4. August 2001 20:13 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: [JAVA3D] top view Iam designing a user interface for a modelling software using java3d. I want to allow the user to be able to grab the objects they place in the scene and move it around in 3 space, but how can I map the (x,y) coordinates of the mouse to (x,y,z) coordinates of the object. By using the mouseTranslate the object can be moved only in the xy plane. How can I let them move it in the z direction also. I am not sure but I was hoping that if I displayed the top view of the scene then they will be able to move the objects in the z direction also. So I have been trying in vain to display the top view of the scene but am not able to do it. Could some one please help me. This is a little urgent. Could anyone please suggest some good reference books and websites please. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
