General Module Function

This module is only available in MVS.

The write_VRML module is able to output most graphics objects in the Viewer to a VRML-formatted file.

VRML is a network transparent protocol for communicating 3D graphics over the World Wide Web. It has fallen out of favor on the web, though it is still a standard for 3D model output.

We provide VRML output for two primary purposes:

  1. Export of 3D models for conversion to 3D PDF
  2. Export of 3D models for 3D Printing
