Exporting VRML Files
You can export your Lightscape Solution file to a
VRML version 1.0c file.
To export a VRML file:
1.
Open the Lightscape Solution file that you want
to export.
2.
Choose File | Export | VRML.
The Export VRML dialog appears.
3.
Enter a filename in the Name box, or click
Browse and use the Save As dialog that appears.

Enter the address of the required web site in the
Url box.
5.

vanced group box.
7.
If required, set the Scale and Transformation in
the Advanced group box.
8. Click OK.
The Solution file is exported to a VRML file.
Entering a URL
You specify a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to
set the pathname or location of references to other
VRML files (also called inline nodes) from within
the created file. An inline node can be a 2D or 3D
graphic, texture, audio, or video file.
For example, if you use external textures in your
VRML file, enter the location of these textures so
that the browser can locate and load the textures
appropriately.
Choosing Basic Export Options
You can choose any of the following basic export
options.
Compact File
Use this option to compact the VRML file, resulting
in smaller file sizes at the expense of some precision
and readability.
This option is enabled by default.
Convert Textures
Use this option to include references to textures in
the VRML file. You can also use the Embed Textures
option to determine how the textures are referenced.
This option is enabled by default.
Active Layer Only
Use this option to export only the active layers in the
Lightscape file. Disable this option to export all
layers (active and inactive).
This option is disabled by default.
