    I am running "X3D-Edit 3.3 Authoring Tool 201302132200". It says to
    be the latest revision.  I have no idea where the moebius circle is
    or what exactly it looks like. I cannot find any conversions to JSON
    in the menus. I had attached the XML file (commentTest.x3d) to the
    previous message hoping that someone would be able to convert it.
    Perhaps there is not a tool for conversion at this time?<br>
