🔖   Event Graph ROUTE Table entries with 2 ROUTE connections, showing X3D event-model relationships for this scene.

Each row with a ROUTE statement shows an event cascade that may occur during a single timestamp interval between frame renderings, performed as part of the X3D execution model.

T
TimeSensor
fraction_changed
SFFloat
→
ROUTE

I
OrientationInterpolator

F

set_rotation
SFRotation

line 46
ProtoInstance
Rotor
No direct ROUTE connection found for events to/from this node.
This ProtoInstance contains SFNode/MFNode fieldValue declaration with
direct access to other nodes, and thus has potential to produce run-time animation. 

Additional guidance on X3D animation can be found in the 10-Step Animation Design Process and Event Tracing hint sheets.
Have fun with X3D! 😀
