The RemoteAspect (and the ChangeList) are there to handle the replication for you with something like Sending side: RemoteAspect *aspect; Connection *connection; ...setup connection... aspect->sendSync(*connection, Thread::getCurrentChangeList()); connection->flush(); Receiving side: RemoteAspect *aspect; Connection *connection; ...setup connection... connection->selectChannel(); aspect->receiveSync(*connection); Be ware of your begin-/endEdit calls, since only changes made in between these will be replicated! The register* functions of the remote aspect is there to let you do stuff when special field containers are created, changed and/or destroyed. For example you might want to collect a handle to all Switch node(core)s in a vector the moment they are created and throw away the handles the moment the nodes are destroyed. > Anyway, thanks for the answer, I'll experiment with the RemoteAspect for > now... You're welcome... and I think experimentation is the best way to get to know how all this works. Hopefully you can now do some "guided" experimentation :-) /Rasmus -- Rasmus Agerholm Research Assistant VR Media Lab (+45) 9635 8792 Niels Jernes Vej 14 DK-9220 Aalborg Phone: (+45) 9635 8784 Fax: (+45) 9815 2444 http://www.vrmedialab.dk/~rasta ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
