You will need to alter the VRML files themselves. VrmlPad is good for this and you will need a copy of the VRML97 spec. I would try removing any PROTOs from copies of the files along with referances to them. Replace the existing floor with a large box or flat plane. >Both of the above >packages give me different errors - missing ";" or "[" . 3DS max doesn't like ] or [ without a space or return before and after. It doesn't like ISBBackgrounds ISB moving textures or PROTO/Scripts at all. If I recall Cosmo Worlds doesn't like Scripts with missing ; >Is this a problem with the way VRML97 standard is being >interpretted by the different packages? Yes basically. In the VRML97 spec it says programs are suppost to quietly ignore anything in files they do not support. ISB and ISA support the spec. >Kim   [reply] [back to forum] [new message] [all forums] convert vrml97 to inventor file / k.lange@qut.edu.au / 3.07.01 02:56      Re: convert vrml97 to inventor file / fabricatorgeneral@yahoo.com / 11.07.01 10:48 Messages in thread: 2 [reply] [back to forum] [new message] [all forums]
