Yes, I am using the X3DViewpointNode.  It’s returned in the SAI interface contract.

Our messages crossed but are quite similar... we might have the problem surrounded I hope...

Please make sure that you have _no_ references to abstract class X3DViewpointNode anywhere in your code.

The Java source for concrete class ViewpointObject specifically overrides its abstract parent superclass with an @Override annotation.  Inside X3DJSAIL the setDEF() method correctly returns type ViewpointObject.

If we remove all references to X3D*Node abstract classes everywhere and the problem still occurs, then
- perhaps not all of those definitions are removed, or
- perhaps an old file in the path is somehow visible, or
- we have isolated a bug in Pyjnius that we can ask them to fix.

Good luck sir.

all the best, Don
