[GiDlist] mesh to geometry conversion

OS win98 GiD6.3.0b
I want to be able to save a mesh as a geometry file i.e. just line entities
(without repeats). does anyone have a .bas file which will do it or any
other suggestions as I'm feeling lazy.

Reason: I want to use VRMLout to produce a VRML file of my mesh to show to
people without GiD.

Thanks in advance
Mark

Download GiD 7.0.1-Beta.
This version includes a directory /templates to contain some .bas files, to
export the mesh

Are includes four templates: VRML, DXF, STL and NASTRAN.
(any user can add his own templates)

You can write a mesh of lines directly in VRML format whitout load a problem
type with:
Files-Export-Using Template .bas (only mesh)-VRML

If you have a mesh of surfaces, you can also write as DXF, then re-load this
DXF file in GiD (to convert
each element in a surface), delete all surfaces, and generate a new mesh
from the lines to export as VRML
