You find the vrml import fork on http://helixtoolkit.codeplex.com/SourceControl/network/forks/glgweeke/vrmlImport

This fork has not been merged into the default branch yet.

Hi,

can you add your .wrl file?

Thanks!

michaeldjackson wrote at 2012-11-20 12:58:

Not sure how to attach file to reply.

glgweeke wrote at 2012-11-21 11:34:

Hi,

you can create a new issue and attach a file.

Max. 4MB. (use Zip)

objo wrote at 2012-11-21 11:55:

I would suggest sharing by a service like
http://www.filedropper.com
http://www.filefactory.com
http://fileden.com/ 

or for source files
http://pastebin.com
etc.

Link to my troublesome .wrl file.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/6lpoznkjny8d/n/AF1_wrl

The AF1.wrl file is an export from Flac3D 5.0 from Itasca, and represents a rectilinear grid.

I used MeshLab (free, opensource) to view the file to ensure it is not corrupted.

glgweeke wrote at 2012-11-21 22:04:

In the vrml import fork i make some bugfixes. Now you can import the file.

Currently i do not support texture mapping.

But it will be possible to add this feature in near future.

I have uploaded a .png to http://www.filefactory.com/file/5dmq1jc0ulgv/n/VRMLInMeshLab_PNG which represents the AF1.wrl file that I sent you previously for your testing purposes being viewed in MeshLab. Is is possible to get this type of view from your VRML importer? In MeshLab, this view is obtained by clicking the "WireFrame" button.

Hi,

in WPF it is not possible to draw a real line in 3D.

Your .WRL-File is using IndexedLineSet which need this feature.

This Helix-Toolkit creates a line with 2 Triangles which what a real size. Not only one pixel on every viewpoint.

To do what you like, 

pease patch the following to lines in the VRMLReader.cs file.

1.) Line 734: 

            if (FindNode("IndexedFaceSet"))

replace 

if (false)

2.) Line 949:

                    mesh.Positions = lg.CreatePositions(linePoints, 0.001);

replace

                    mesh.Positions = lg.CreatePositions(linePoints, 0.1);

This importer is not stable not finished and not perfect.
