vrml file merging tool

2004-11-26, 12:17 pm

Hi,
Is there any VRML file merging tool, so that it could merge multiple files
into one big file?
I know that Chisel can do such a thing, but if the files contain PROTOs and
EXTERNPROTOS then it produces many errors in the output file.

Best regards,
mdk

VRML files are ASCII (.txt) files, either compressed with gzip or not.

To merge several files, you need to uncompress the files (e.g. with "gunzip")
and can merge them either in the commandline or in any working text editor
of your choice ("notepad.exe" is possibly not really a working text editor...).

There is a VRML node "Inline", which allows you to merge files in a more
elegant way.

If you need a graphical VRML authoring tool with support for the Inline
node you can either use cosmoworlds ("File -> Import as Inline...")
or white_dune ("Create -> WWW -> Inline").

It looks like white_dune produce warnings, if the same PROTO is multiple
defined in the input files (when using "File -> Import") but it write
back only one PROTO definition for it.
Tell me, if you still find a problem in the Import/Inline commands of
white_dune...

so long

Somewhat off-topic, but may be of general interest to community, so:

We at vrspace.org adopted chisel as soon as trapezium.com released it
under GPL.

Any and all bug reports, requests for enhancements etc - tell us.

You can use either forums or lists or whatever is your preference. Sure
I can't promise anything but at least we'll know what you need.
