Extract
Terrain to VRML
The Extract Terrain
tool creates a VRML model from a local or remote MPT database to your local
machine. Using the Extract Terrain tool you can create a VRML model for display
in VRML viewers, 3D printing etc. The extracted terrain includes the elevation
and imagery information from the terrain database, and buildings created by
TerraExplorer Pro. Building textures are currently not supported. You can
control the size of the VRML model by defining the export area, and the Image
and Elevation quality.
