A while back there was some discussion on rotating views of rib files
with 3View. This seems to be file dependent. I haven't figured it out yet
(I'm new to RenderMan and have not had time to t=really compare the files),
but compare viewing of the examples given in /NeXTDeveloper/Examples/RenderMan,
where mouse drag actions cause a translation; and the examples (like
teapot or cdodec) from the PD posting (on purdue) ribs.tar.Z, where mouse
drag actions cause a rotation (so you can actually turn them around
and see the "back".)

Can anyone explain this before I rack my already beaten brain?

Thanks,

Charlie
