get vrml 1.0



Purpose
Reads in VRML 1.0 files. Current model will be deleted.
Usage
The file to be read must be in the
project's intlib directory. The file suffix should be '.wrl'.
If you click on the button, a list of all VRML files in your project's
intlib directory is presented. Simply pick the file you want to read in.
Limitations
- Surface properties per vertex not supported.
- Texture maps not supported.
- Only reads in VRML 1.0 files. Higher version numbers of the VRML spec (such as VRML 2.0) are not supported.
- The vrml node 'AsciiText' is not supported. All occurences of this node are ignored.
- The following polygons are assumed to be convex while they may be concave:
- Non planar polygons.
- Polygons with incident vertices.
- Polygons with incident vertices after projection.
- Polygons with zero area size
- Self-intersecting polygons.
Comments
If your VRML file is contaminated with polygons as described above,
then some statistics will be printed in the Intercol window.
