MATLAB: How to import CAD models for use with the Virtual Reality Toolbox 3.1 (R13SP1)

Question

I would like to import CAD models for use with the Virtual Reality Toolbox 3.1 (R13SP1).

Answer 1

You can open limited file formats using the V-Realm editor, included with the Virtual Reality Toolbox 3.1 (R13SP1). These formats can be found in the file formats field on the File -> Open menu of the V-Realm editor. For other file formats, you will need a third-party converter to convert your CAD model to a VRML file format.

You can then open and edit the converted VRML files with the V-Realm editor. This has also been documented in the product documentation pages under the section "Using CAD Models with Virtual reality Toolbox".
