Thus, they should not be mandatory in any hanim user code. Plus, they have an odd definition in that the hanim standard processing to build the character is not supposed to actually use the USE text, leaving me to still think these should be simple mf text fields listing only the def names. So, if I am working on an HAnim and they are there, it is the first thing I delete, to simplify and knowing the things are easy to construct if needed. So, just don’t bother with them, unless you need to. </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:yottzumm@gmail.com">John Carlson</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, November 20, 2022 6:42 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:brutzman@nps.edu">Don Brutzman</a>; <a href="mailto:joedwil@earthlink.net">Joe D Williams</a>; <a href="mailto:x3d-public@web3d.org">X3D Graphics public mailing list</a><br><b>Subject: </b>USE nodes in HAnim…no longer required?</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m wondering if repetitive USE nodes in HAnim can be removed, per comments in x3d validator.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,</p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>John</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
