Walls3D - VRML Viewer

The 3D file export option of Walls produces standard VRML v1.0 text files (extension WRL) that represent your surveys as multicolored, 3-dimensional wireframe models. LRUD and wall shot  dimension lines, along with the "point cloud" formed by their endpoints, are also optionally represented.  A simple VRML viewer program, Walls3D.exe, is part of the Walls installation and will be present in the same folder as Walls. It requires an OpenGL-capable video system, something all computers running Windows have these days. If you wish, you can configure Walls to use a different program for displaying the VRML files you generate. (Use the menu item, Options | 3D File Viewer.) By default, Walls will launch Walls3D when it's appropriate. See Exporting VRML files for more information.

Although there is no help file, you should have little trouble using the toolbar buttons, mouse, and keyboard to explore different 3D views of the wire-frame. Simple instructions appear on a status pane at the bottom of the program's window. An often overlooked feature is the program's ability to view multiple VRML files at once. Opening new files will add panes to a tiled set of 3D views that can be independently manipulated.
