The Inline helper lets you reference another VRML97 file that is included in your world when you load it into your VRML97 browser. These inline objects are like instance objects, but they function at the browser level.
If you create the objects in the scene to be inserted off-center (away from the origin), they will appear in the browser off-center as well. Align the original scene and the scene to be inserted correctly, in relation to the origin.
The VRML Inline rollout contains the following options:
Specifies whether an explicit bounding box size will be exported. If you select “Use Icon Size,” the diameter of the icon will be written into the VRML97 file for the width, length, and height of the bounding box; the actual contents of the inline file should fit within that bounding box. If you select “Calculate in Browser,” no bounding box size is exported and the VRML browser will determine the size of the inline geometry.
