the basics of how to draw a shape. If you use the code to create an x3d scene to display the box, then you can do experiments with colors and textures, and even how to draw a box several different ways than using this very simple self-documenting form of the IndexedFaceSet. Really, there are only a couple of rules, like the points are indexed 0 to whatever, the index -1 completes the connection by creating an edge between the previous listed point and first listed point, and regardless of how you define the polygon, the visualization will be composed of triangles. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>But IF you wish to work in a system that does not really intend to show you the user code, don’t worry, the tech is well-enough developed so you may never have to look under the covers of the graphical user interface. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, please have a look at stuff like this for real applications using interactive 3D scenes. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://learnbrite.com/vr-enterprise-elearning/?utm_content=blog_post&utm_campaign=Digital_Raspberry_Marketing&utm_source=LinkedIn&utm_medium=danny_personal&utm_term=13_Reasons_Why_VR_Enterprise_eLearning_ISN%E2%80%99T_What_You_Need_Next">https://learnbrite.com/vr-enterprise-elearning/?utm_content=blog_post&utm_campaign=Digital_Raspberry_Marketing&utm_source=LinkedIn&utm_medium=danny_personal&utm_term=13_Reasons_Why_VR_Enterprise_eLearning_ISN%E2%80%99T_What_You_Need_Next</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Good Luck, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Joe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:joedwil@earthlink.net">Joseph D Williams</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, January 17, 2019 10:01 AM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:iamhereintheworld@gmail.com">iam here</a>; <a href="mailto:x3d-public@web3d.org">x3d-public@web3d.org</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [x3d-public] Beginner questions part 2 :)</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'>....so, I just wanna get a feel for what X3D code looks like,<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OK, get out a pencil and paper.
