SceneViewer - 3d editor and viewer for Inventor scenes

SceneViewer  is  a  program  for viewing and interacting with Inventor scene graph files (the SGI 3D file
       format standard).  SceneViewer was written to demonstrate Inventor features, and serves as the basis  for
       the IRIS Explorer Render Module.

       When  SceneViewer  is  run,  a window appears containing the Inventor examinerviewer and a menu bar. The
       viewer allows the user to interactively change the view of the  scene  through  direct  manipulation,  or
       indirect slider and push button controls.  The menu bar contains the following menus:

       File
              This menu supports file reading and writing, and launches a dialog for printing to a printer or to
              PostScript file.

       Edit
              This  menu  enables  copy  and paste of 3D data, selecting all objects, and deleting the currently
              selected objects.

       Viewing
              This menu controls viewing options.  It allows different viewing paradigms  to  be  employed:  the
              examiner viewer which provides a virtual trackball interface, the fly-through viewer for traveling
              through expansive data sets, the walk viewer for architectural walk-throughs, and the plane viewer
              for orthographic projections.  The menu also enables different types of transparency, fog effects,
              antialiasing, and background color controls.

       Selection
              This  menu  allows  the  different  selection  policies  to  be  demonstrated.  A selection policy
              determines how objects get added and removed from the collection of selected objects.

       Editors
              This menu launches the material editor and transform sliders.  An object must be selected for  the
              menu to be active.

       Manips
              This  menu allows different manipulators to act on the current selection, including the trackball,handlebox,jack,centerball, and transformbox.  Manipulators can also be turned off,  in  which
              case selected objects are surrounded with a red wireframe box highlight.

       Lights
              This  menu  allows  directional,  point,  and spot lights to be created and edited. It also allows
              lights to be turned on and off.
