MouseZoom Object disappear

Dear all,

I have a Java3D applet displaying some object on screen; for
rotation/translation/zoom on the object I used the corresponding
MouseRotate/Translate/Zoom function.
When zooming out too much the object disappear, which I can understand, but
it disappears while being still quite big. I would like to be able to zoom
out a little bit more, let's say until my object becomes more tiny. How can
I do that ?
I don't know very well Java3D, and could not find any answers on the
internet. I know how to do it in OpenGL playing with gluPerspective (), but
haven't the slightest idea with J3D

Thank you for any answers and for your kind help.

I think this has to do with the cutting plane. Try to move it closer to the
view point.
Sorry for this very "light" answer.

It is probably the case but I have no idea on how to move this cutting
plane.

Is there a method in the API used to play with it ?

thank you anyway for the answer, I will try to search more.
