3D World Editor Is the Default Editor
When you install the Simulink 3D Animation product, the 3D World Editor is configured
to be the default editor. For details about changing the default editor, see “Set the
Default Editor”).
Note: You can also use the V-Realm Editor. For more information, see “V-Realm Builder
Help”.
Open an Empty Virtual World
Use one of these approaches to open an empty virtual world in the 3D World Editor.
• From the MATLAB Toolstrip, in the Apps tab, in the Simulation Graphics and
Reporting section, click 3D World Editor.
• If the 3D World Editor is your default VRML editor, open an empty virtual world from
the MATLAB command line using the edit command.
edit(vrworld(''))
• Regardless of Default Editor preference setting, you can use , use the vredit
command, without arguments.
• From within the 3D World Editor, select either File > Newor File > New From
Template. If there is already a file open in the 3D World Editor, these options open a
new instance of the editor. Multiple instances of the editor makes it easier to work on
multiple virtual worlds at the same time and to copy and paste from one virtual world
to another.
