NetLogo 3D: Known Issues

Caution! NetLogo's support for 3D is experimental. Models created with this release may not be compatible with future versions. While we've made every effort to ensure a quality product, this special preview has not been subject to the same rigorous quality-control processes as our regular NetLogo releases.

Bugs

• Fullscreen mode does not work with some graphics cards in the ATI Radeon family, including the ATI Radeon Mobility and ATI IGP cards.
• You can't save your model as an applet.
• On a Mac, the menus disappear while you use the 3D window. To get them back, click on the main NetLogo window. (As in most Mac applications, you can use Command-Backquote to switch windows with the keyboard.)
• There are no 3D topologies, all 3D worlds wrap in the x y and z directions.
• Only layout-spring uses the 3D space the other layout commands only do so in 2D.
• Interact mode in the 3D view is not available, consequently, mouse-xcor, mouse-ycor and mouse-inside? do not report the correct value in the 3D view.
• Even though we don't have any examples of HubNet activities in 3D yet, HubNet is compatible with NetLogo 3D. However, view mirroring does not include 3D graphics yet.
