CAVE, navigation, tracked wand, coordinate systems

[JimC]

Not quite, I'm afraid. That is, it may be mathematically correct, but when I set parent=caveorigin, the node's drawImplementation() never gets called (determined by substituting a Python custom node for the Box.wrl).

What version of Vizard are you running? In older versions, nodes parented to CaveOrigin objects would not be rendered, but this should be fixed in newer versions.

3.13.0002. Too old?

[farshizzo]

I believe the fix appeared in version 3.14, so you are one version too old. We just released 3.15 last week. Click on Help -> Check for updates in the Vizard menu and it should take you to a download link for the latest version.

Thanks, it's working now. So is wand-based picking, though it took me about an hour to realize that viz.intersect() was always returning the virtual rod that I'd just attached to the wand...
