Save and Export Virtual World Files

You can save your virtual world files as VRML (.wrl) files using the File > Save or

File > Save As menu items.

If you use the Save option, the 3D World Editor renames the previous version of the file

by appending .bak after the .wrl extension.

If you use the Save As option, the 3D World Editor saves the file using the new name

that you specify. The file is saved in a form that is supported by the Simulink 3D

Animation Viewer and 3D World Editor (for example, the saved file preserves links to the

library texture files).

Use the File > Export menu item to export a VRML file that is fully compliant with

VRML97 for use:

• With other VRML tools

• On different computers

• In previous versions of the Simulink 3D Animation (previously the Virtual Reality

Toolbox) product

For exported files, the 3D World Editor copies referenced inlined VRML files and texture

files to the <filename>_files folder. It modifies the corresponding URLs for those

files, so that they point to the <filename>_files folder.

Edit VRML Scripts

To add a VRML Script node:

In the Tree structure pane, select the ROOT node.

Select the appropriate kind of script, using the Node > Add > Common > Script

menu.

To add Script interface elements:

Right-click a Script node.
