Hi,

Hello Paul, hello ChemWeb useres,

I have developed the tool (VRML File Creator for Chemical Structures) which Paul has used to create the VRML scene of the DNA. The VRML scene includes a switch node to change between the various display styles. However IMHO it is not necessary to display the structure in all of these display styles. The 'Capped' styles shows all important things of the DNA. Paul please create another VRML scene of the DNA but only in the capped display style. This WRL file should be much smaller than 1.3 MB. You can add this file as an alternative smaller VRML scene.

Ok, I'll make a capped version of it sometime tis week. On the subject of large VRML files, is there a list which shows which of the popular VRML viewers support gzipped VRML files? If most of them do, then there's no danger in using the gzipped files. But if Cosmoplayer is the only one that supports gzipped files, we'll have to make do with the full (large) files in order to allow everyone to see the files.
