VRML files are virtual reality ASCII files designed for transfer between different platforms on the Internet and Intranets. You will need a viewer plugin for your browser such as, Cortona 3D Viewer which can be found at http://www.cortona3d.com/cortona

The VRML unit is meters and consequently all coordinates are created using this. When a VRML file is created, only visible layers are stored. The VRML files contain all the geometric information, the viewing parameters, the rendering parameters and the lighting for the defined model.

Rendering parameters of lines, arcs and annotation in the VRML scene are set using the rendering parameters of STATE the index of which is given by the PEN attribute, i.e. if a line with PEN=2 is found then its rendering parameters are set using STATE=2.
