Hi,
I'm looking for the X3D export in FreeCAD but I can't find it.
I could find another topic on the forum (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9301) referring to the X3D export in V0.14.
And from the source code (MeshIO.cpp) it seems to be there but I can't figure out how to use it in FreeCAD neither from the GUI nor using Python.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Tobias

If you would consider VRML from FreeCAD you can have a try at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kicadstepup/
from WRL you can get X3D using Blender

Re: looking for the X3D export
The X3D export format is available in the Mesh workbench and only allows you to export surface meshes -- surfaces of higher order or curves are not supported with this implementation.
In order to use it select your shape and switch to the Mesh workbench. Now use the command to create a mesh from a shape and use any of the existing methods Standard, Mefisto or Netgen. Now select the output mesh and use the command Export mesh from the Mesh menu.

Thanks, Maurice!
I think I came across this during a Google search.
And it would be plane B to have something implemented in Python if the internal FreeCAD solution is not adequate.
