Hi Ibrahim,
For a case like this you can't combine all your FlatFields
in one FieldImpl. getCloseIndex() is intended to give you
the index of a point in a FlatField, not the index of a
FlatField in a FieldImpl.
Instead, construct a DataReference, a PickManipulationRendererJ3D
and a CellImpl for each FlatField. Each FlatField is linked
independently to the DisplayImpl via its own DataReference and
PickManipulationRendererJ3D, and the DataReference is linked to
its own CellImpl that responds to picking that particular
FlatField.
Good luck,
Bill
