Robert: Thanks for your reply. I downloaded some IVE files from a website that I am trying to use for a project teaching teens how to create video games using OSG. I want to dynamically add objects along the path in the scene. To do this I will have to specify the XYZ of the point to add the path. My problem is that I don't know how to find the point short of using the debugger to get the camera location. That is a bit tricky to teach the kids at this point of their knowledge. I would like to have a way for them to move around in the scene and decide where they want to add objects then edit a startup file and add the coordinates for each location. Bruce
------------------------------------ Hi Bruce, I'm not clear on what you really want, but one technique for identifying objects in the scene is to simply assign a name to them. To decide what parts of the scene respond to picking one would use a Node NodeMask in combination with a IntersectionVisitor TraversalMask. To work out the coords you can use the bounding sphere/box of the node/drawable or the ComputeBoundsVisitor, or the intersection results... I can't say at all which one of these may or may not be appropriately as your question is far too open ended. Robert.
