>From the pfBillboard man page (under BUGS):
"Intersection traversals test only the pfBillboard's bounding volume, not
its individual pfGeoSets."
If you really need it, you might be able to add intersection traversal callbacks
to a pfBillboard node to fix this.
Question to Performer team: Will this be fixed in the next release? Or is it
something we should do using callbacks?

Hi,
i've tried to pick some billboards in a scene graph by the call
NrHits = pfChanPick( Channel, PFPK_M_NEAREST|PFTRAV_IS_PRIM, ChannelX,
ChannelY,
0.0f, PickList ).
But i got always NrHits = 0 for billboards. Other objects are ok for picking.
Isn't it possible to pick billboards?
Our equipment: Performer 2.0, OpenGL, Irix 5.3, 6.3, indy and some O2's.
Regards,
Thomas
