[x3d-public] possible bug in X3D file, or X3D Object model, rotation and translation are not defined for CADFace (but possibly inherited??? and missing from sub node), thus have no local type and cannot be converted to array.

[Don Brutzman]

That is correct, thanks for confirming Vince.  There are a handful of scenes in the archives like this that are not expected to work but are important to retain for developmental/archival purposes.

John, I usually make a point to print out "meta error" and "meta warning" statements when running long test series.  They help make the logs decipherable and avoid undue re-investigation.  Perhaps something like that is possible in your test suite?

This file was generated as part of the discussion on Mantis Issue 528 ( From Mantis Bug Tracker, restricted to Web3D Consortium members). This file used a proposed extension to the X3D standard that allowed transformation nodes in CADFace. This extension has not been approved and the Mantis discussion notes indicate that the working group is not recommending it -- so the extension is not incorporated into the Object model and is not part of X3D.
