In my application I have a panel in which a user can pick a shape in a 3D environment. 
Because of the problems I have mentioned before, I have to maintain a single Canvas3D 
across the application, which seems to be fine, but now I find when I leave the 3D 
panel and then go back to it and try to do the same picking things I get an illegal 
state exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Picking can only work if BranchGroup is alive       
          at javax.media.j3d.BranchGroup.pickAll(BranchGroup.java:123)
        at com.sun.j3d.utils.picking.PickTool.pickGeomAllSorted(PickTool.java:698)
        at com.sun.j3d.utils.picking.PickTool.pickAllSorted(PickTool.java:522)

When I finish with the 3D view I clear it thus:

    public void roomClear()
    {
        Viewer[] ox = ourView.getViewers();
        for( int p=0;p<ox.length;p++)
            ox[p].getView().removeAllCanvas3Ds();
        ourView.detach();
        ourBG.detach();
    }

When I go back to it I create all the views branchgroups and canvases again.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

cheers,
