VRML CODE for THE PIW PAPERMACHINE WORLD

The few lines of code listed are a small portion of the complete code that contains well over 5,000 lines and uses 1.5 MB. The complete code is to large a file to practically present in a single document on the Internet. The code shown demonstrates what the VRML language for this world looks like. The sets of numbers associated with the commands and nodes are the positions assigned for the x, y and z axis. The numbers are derived by making scale layouts and assigning axis positions for each intersection of the part. The part is defined in the code by shape, geometry, material and size. The first machine part in the code follows the lighting and viewpoint instruction easily identified by red text. The # character preceding a line is a command that the line be ignored. The line contains reference information or location markers for use of the code writer. Constructing this world including scale layouts and writing the code took well over 500 hours.
