Exporting curtains

You can export curtains (echogram curtains and multibeam ping curtain groups) from both scenes and the Scene Manager as VRML world files (.wrl files). The exported curtain can be viewed in a 3D environment using a supported VRML viewer.

To export an echogram curtain 3D object from the Scene manager dialog box:

  1. Click the 3D objects tab.

  2. Click on the 3D echogram curtain you want to export.

  3. Click Export.

  4. Choose a folder and enter a name for the export file.

  5. Click OK.

Notes:

  1. Only curtains that are visible in the scene (have a valid time overlapping with the scene time window) will be exported.

  2. A number of .jpg files (that are required to construct the object in the VRML viewer) will be exported for fully opaque curtains; .png files will be exported for curtains containing transparency.
