If you’re familiar with VRML, you may wish to tweak the base VRML template used by FWE to suit your tastes. The base world template that FWE uses when generating VRML worlds is fwebase.wrl, which can be found in the FWE directory. You can edit this file to change some aspects of the VRML generation. When editing the file, be sure to keep the special tags in place! They’re used by FWE to know where to insert various values. Hint: 3d worlds often take a while to load into your 3d viewer. The first time you create a VRML world, use the smallest detail setting (25%). This will allow you to judge how long it will take for higher levels of det
