Open Rocket on Mac OS X 10.7.5

Hoping that someone can help with this one...

OS X 10.7.5 - Java 7 Update 25 - OR 13.05

Here's the problem, everything appears to be working correctly till I try to use any of the 3D views. I can move down the menu's, from side view to back view to 3D figure to 3D unfinished as long as I don't move the image. The minute I do everything in the 3D view disappears. I've never been able to see 3D finished unless there is only one object in the rocket configuration. I can model a nose cone and see it in all views, the minute I add a body tube all the 3D views become unstable and I can't see anything. In case this helps here is the path to java on this machine - /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance....

Unfortunately, it's a bug in Java (and/or the JOGL 3D libraries) and there aren't any known workarounds. Other Java 3D applications (non Open Rocket) are suffering from the same issue. At this point your only option to get 3D to work on a Mac is to run it on Java 6.

I had to reduce mine to Java 6.
