That's because the walk viewer in Webspace expects the up vector to be
+Y and your tube seems to be modeled with +Z as the up vector. I seem
to recall that it is specified somewhere in the spec (or maybe its just
folklore) that +Y is the preferred up direction. Ah, here it is. From
the VRML 1.0 spec at http://vrml.wired.com/vrml.tech/vrml10-3.html:
"Coordinate System:
VRML uses a cartesian, right-handed, 3-dimensional coordinate
system. By default, objects are projected onto a 2-dimensional
device by projecting them in the direction of the positive Z
axis, with the positive X axis to the right and the positive Y
axis up. A camera or modeling transformation may be used to
alter this default projection."
It would be nice, however, if our walk viewer was a bit more flexible.
Perhaps with the 1.1/2.0 spec, the appropriate information will be in
the VRML file to allow this (ie, the world up vector).
