PROBLEM

VRML export files for scenes that use raster surfaces are very large

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Description

This problem is addressed in ArcGIS 8.1 Service Pack 1. See the Related Information section to download this pack.

VRML export for scenes has an option to use an "ElevationGrid" data type when writing out information for raster-based surfaces. This should be on by default as its use produces much smaller VRML files than the alternative. Instead, it's off by default, and use of the check box to turn it on has no effect.

Cause

This is a known issue.

Solution or Workaround

VB or C programming can be used to turn the option on via the VRMLExport object. There is no solution on the user interface.
