Is it possible to render an Inventor Scene Graph in Performer?
I know it's possible to make OpenGL calls in Performer and since using
SoGLRenderAction simply renders an Inventor Scene Graph in using the
OpenGL library then
it should work right?

Ultimately, I want to be able to use the manipulators in Inventor
to change some of the geometry in Performer. How can I link to Inventor
to use the manipulators?

I can imagine: picking an object in Performer, constructing an Inventor
scene graph, manipulating the new graph using Inventor manipulators, saving th
e object back in the Performer.

I could put the Inventor manipulations in the pfDraw callback. I could
draw the performer scene graph (without the manipulated object) then
draw the Inventor Scene graph on top of it.

Let me know if anyone has done any thing similar, if this is possible,
or if this is not possible.

Thanks in Advance,
