In your example a3 is a reference to a Appearance object which belongs to a object which seems to be live. And it is exactly like the error message says: you can't modify the capability bits of an object which is live.
Appearance a3 = new Appearance(); a3 = shape.getAppearance();
is a little bit senseles: You create a new Appearance a3 and overwrite it immediately afterwards. Modify the capability bits directly after the creation of your new Appearance object and everything should work fine.

Hi Java3D people I have a problem here. I a trying to change the appearance of a shape3d object. when i set the appearance to a new appearance it works fine. but when i try to get the old appearance and modify it, it gives me the error javax.media.j3d.RestrictedAccessException: Cannot modify capability bits on a live or compiled object Any clue how i can overcome this. here is the code
Appearance a3 = new Appearance(); a3 = shape.getAppearance();
a3.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_RENDERING_ATTRIBUTES_WRITE); a3.setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_RENDERING_ATTRIBUTES_READ); a3.setCapability(shape1.ALLOW_APPEARANCE_READ); a3.setCapability(shape1.ALLOW_APPEARANCE_WRITE); r= new RenderingAttributes(); r.setVisible(false); a4.setRenderingAttributes(r); shape.setAppearance(a4);
thanks venu
