I have read the replies from Max and Doug. Their answers were how
to interact with various X3D browsers to go from one viewpoint to
the next.<br>
<br>
When developing the specification, the X3D WG explicitly chose not
to specify how to provide that interaction because of all of the
different kids of devices that might be used to view X3D content.
The thought is that browsers builders in conjunction with users
would standardize on a mechanism for Viewpoint navigation or the
content author would provide a mechanism to do so that was
appropriate for the content.<br>
<br>
If this was not your question, can you please restate the issue so
someone can answer it?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">As a novice, having successfully completed a relatively complex WRL
with X3D Edit, came the moment of putting in a set of Viewpoints, in
the light of information variously available.on the web
My need is trivial, basically centered on a cube whose sides I want to
view looking down the three axes -- possibly 6 views.
Default is fine. I can "turn" the cube once, successfully to a new
viewpoint position with suitable use of orientation. I cannot switch
to any other view of the cube, despite having played with multiple
variants of viewpoint and orientation.
The matter is so trivial, but the explanations variously available do
not seem to match my need. And the examples are not as helpful as
might be assumed.
More generally, it is intriguing how hard it is to position new forms
within any framework, despite use of the xyz axes widget.
Tony.
