The final step is to export your design.

Under the "File" drop down menu is an option called "Export." This is the option you want to select. The program will ask you what you want to name your file, where you want to save it to, and the file type. The file type selection is a pull down menu right below where you type the name you are saving the file under. The choice you want is "VRML 2.0 (.wrl)." Press the save/export button and the dialogue box seen below comes up. Under "Generate" select only the "Normals" and under the "Polygons Type" pull down menu select "Triangles." The rest of it should be fine. Select "OK" and you are finished. VRML 2.0 formats can be used by many programs, but cannot be loaded into capVTE or into the CAVE. To load the file into capVTE go to the CAPLab download page and download the most recent "VRML 2.0 to VTE format" conversion program. To load into the CAVE you can go through capVTE or you can convert the file to a VRML 1.0 file.
