I would try to find a VRML to DXF converter. Or if you're exporting
these models from some application, go straight to DXF. IDL can read
DXF files and I have written an object that handles the details, making
it even easier. I can dig up the link to it if you're interested.

Before I started down this path, I would make CERTAIN this
is where you want to end up. In my experience, more often
than not, VRML is not the be-all, end-all you hoped it
was going to be. :-)

Sorry - I jumped the gun on my last post. Not enough coffee this
morning. Appearently the IDLgrVRML object is for export... oops.
That said - I would google "vrml file format" and start writing a
parser myself... shouldn't be too difficult, especially if you only
have to make a reader for certain vrml files and not a "swiss army
knife" vrml parser.

"Anything" is possible in IDL. I'd start by doing a search in the IDL
help for, umm..., vrml.
