Dear Bob,
One of my users wants to export x3d files for 3d printing. It works, but he has
a question. He writes:
Our 3-D printer expert would like the X3D file with mm units and scaled so the
longest side is under 200 mm? Is that possible?
Can I specify this somehow?
Thanks for your help

Christian, I believe that in VRML format everything is assumed to be in some
units (meters?) by the printing software. I'm not sure about X3D, but it's
probably the same. So I'd say yes, there will be a relation betwen angstroms
in the model and the printed size.
We discussed the problem time
You can rotate a model to have its longest dimension along the x axis and
then determine that dimension size using:
select all
rotate selected best
boundbox {selected}
show boundbox
print smallest dimension is + getProperty(boundboxInfo.vector).z +
Angstroms
print largest dimension is +
