I think you can not obtain the name of the component using the methods, you should first calculate the coordinate of this component under Loalce, and compare it with the picking coordinate to determine which object it is. When you pick an object, you just obtain some serial no of all components. If qny further questions, please le me know.

Now I am working on a project about a cluster monitoring system with virtual reality with Java3D support and the working period is quite tight. In the project, it is possible for the user to click on something to get the information about the cluster. I chose to use a 3D graphic which consist of different parts so that the user can get different information by clicking on the keyboard, or the monitor. But I found it difficult in handling the case. I use > (pickElement.toString()) > to try to get the name of the element the mouse click on. However, I cannot get the actual name of the element clicked. What I get back is something shape3D123045....etc seems to be the address of the element.....in fact, I try to use namedObject.getName(theName) to get the name oif each part of the element: I can get back the name such as: keyboard, line1,line2...etc..... > Is there any method that I can get the actual name by picking? I would be appreciate that if anyone can help...... > > Siu > > =========================================================================== > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body > of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
