Hi Sean,

for me the code for 3d display is not working anymore. Before the update I was able to display a 

scene but was not able to change colors.

After the update I get the exception:



Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" javax.media.j3d.RestrictedAccessException: Cannot 

modify capability bits on a live or compiled object

After having a look inside the source code it looks like there some slight differences between the 

various XXXPortrayal3D classes that might not be intended, like the missing call of 

setShape3DFlags(Shape3D shape) where I guess (really a wild guess) the problem might be 

located.



For a quick fix (it's late in my time zone) I rely only on CubePortrayal3D and the code does not 

throw any exception at the moment. Using the SpherePortrayal3D class does crash the 

application. I don't have the time to explore on this subject today and tomorrow so you or Gabriel 

may have a quick fix available.

Jörg
