Hi!

I am using Geomview 1.6.1 on a Sun Ultra10.
Is it possible that the pick function of Geomview sometimes returns
the wrong vertex?
The following command:
(interest (pick self * * * * nil nil nil nil nil))

produced the following output, when clicking on a vertex:
(pick self scene21.off (131.83 35.0001 37.67 1) (131.83 -27.9998 37.6703
1) () nil nil nil nil nil)

See the huge difference in the y-coordinates? The Coordinates of the 
picked point are correct, but the coordinates of the vertex are far off.
Having Geomview report the coordinates in the world coordinate system, 
makes the differences appear smaller due to the scaling.
What is really interesting is that Geomview does not just return
any vertex, but a true vertex of the geometry unfortunately not
the one that has been picked.
Is there a known solution to this?

Sincerely,
Jan Boehm
