Hi,
I’m in the midst of converting a program from Java3D to xith3d.  So far, so good.
I’m now converting my geometry updater.  Java3D says use the GeometryUpdater interface to change runtime geometry.
Xith3d doesn’t seem to have a GeometryUpdater interface.  So, I wrote this test code to see if I needed it.
   …
   Geometry geometry = box.getGeometry();
   float[] coordArray = new float[geometry.getVertexCount() * 3];
   geometry.getCoordinates( 0, coordArray );

   for ( int i = 0; i < coordArray.length; ++i )
   {
      coordArray[ i ] = 2.f * coordArray[ i ];
        }
   geometry.setCoordinates( 0, coordArray );
   geometry.calculateFaceNormals();
   box.setGeometry( geometry );
   app.setTexture( app.getTexture() );
        …

It seems to work.  Is this an acceptable way or will I get into trouble later?

You need to do this from within a ScheduledOperation. Otherwise it is not thread safe. The rest looks good.

 Thanks.  Making Progress.
