All I want to do is apply a scale to a dcs. I noticed when I did this,
however, I lost my Z axis all together, everything became 2 dimensional and
flat.

I have reworked Simple.C that came with performer to illustrate what I am
doing. Perhaps someone can point out where I am going wrong.

Here goes:

        /*Pre stuff Deleted*/

         pfDCS* test = new pfDCS;
         test = (pfDCS*) root->find("main",pfDCS::getClassType());

         // Attach loaded file to a new pfScene
         pfScene *scene = new pfScene;
         scene->addChild(root);

         // Create a pfLightSource and attach it to scene
         scene->addChild(new pfLightSource);

        float scale=.5;

         // Simulate for twenty seconds.
         while (1)
         {
         test->setScale(scale);

        // Initiate cull/draw for this frame.
        pfFrame();

        scale+=.005;
        if (scale>2)
                scale =1;
         }

I would think the object, a box with only one dcs, MAIN, at the root of the
DB, would cause the entire box to eventually grow to twice it's original
size. It doesn't. The box become two dimensional and then grows to twices
it's original size.

Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
