These topics describes how to use the 3D World Editor for common tasks involved in

creating a virtual world.

For information about opening a file in the editor, see “Open the 3D World Editor” on

page 6-5.

For a step-by-step tutorial, see “Build and Connect a Virtual World”.

Add Objects

Add virtual world objects by adding nodes in the tree structure pane. The hierarchy of

nodes controls the scope to which node properties apply.

Note: Nodes must have unique names to work in the Simulink 3D Animation product.

Approaches for Adding Objects

Use one of these approaches to add a node.

Approach Procedure

Use the Nodes menu

In the tree structure pane, select the parent node

for the object that you want to add.
