Hi Tom,

Good question. There are ALLOW_*_READ capabilities set all
over the visad.java3d and visad.bom packages, but apparently
we missed some. If you can tell me where we missed them, I'll
be happy to change the VisAD source to add them. I'm hoping
that your attempt to read the scene graph can tell you where
the ALLOW_*_READ capabilities are missing.

The only way I know of to extract an isosurface is to call
getBranch() on the DataRenderer (really a method of
RendererJ3D, which is a subclass of DataRenderer) and find
the Geometry from that. Clearly you may need your
ALLOW_*_READ problem solved for this to work.

Cheers,
Bill
