great idea. Thanks for this effort<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
1. Presumably Notepad++ that you refer to is available at<br>
<br>
* <a href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v7.9.2/" target="_blank">https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v7.9.2/</a><br>
<br>
I installed, copied files as indicated and tried to import. Screenshot
attached.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately it then said "failed to import" without indicating why.<br>
<br>
Any ideas on what to try next? I will also try rebooting in case that
clears some post-install permissions.<br>
<br>
2. Looking ahead, we can autogenerate your files using X3D Unified Object Model
(X3DUOM).<br>
<br>
X3DUOM input plus example conversion stylesheet and conversion output:<br>
<br>
[2.1] X3D Unified Object Model (X3DUOM)<br>
<a
href="https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3DUOM.html" target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3DUOM.html</a><br>
<br>
[2.2] <a
href="https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dUnifiedObjectModel-4.0.xml"
target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dUnifiedObjectModel-4.0.xml</a><br>
<a
href="https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dUnifiedObjectModel-4.0.xml"
target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dUnifiedObjectModel-4.0.xml</a><br>
<br>
[2.3] <a
href="https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/AllX3dElementsAttributesTextTemplate.xslt"
target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/AllX3dElementsAttributesTextTemplate.xslt</a><br>
<br>
[2.4] <a
href="https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/AllX3dElementsAttributes4.0.txt"
target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/AllX3dElementsAttributes4.0.txt</a><br>
<a
href="https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/AllX3dElementsAttributes4.0.xml"
target="_blank">https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/AllX3dElementsAttributes4.0.xml</a><br>
<br>
It will be straightforward to adapt this to your syntax for each
conversion. We can add that automation to the regular X3D specifications
build too. X3D4 draft is now pretty stable, so this will make it easy to
track along with any small future changes.<br>
<br>
Presumably we can check that into the Notepad++ official build, once tested
satisfactorily. Whatever you think best.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
3. I'd be interested in next pursuing the same technique for UltraEdit as well.<br>
<br>
[3.1] User-submitted wordfiles for UltraEdit/UEStudio<br>
<a
href="https://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras/wordfiles.html" target="_blank">https://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras/wordfiles.html</a><br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
4. Of note is that XMLSpy already includes such support as well (we should send
them an X3D4 update).<br>
<br>
[4.1] "XML development environment @XMLSpy by @Altova is
a useful tool for modeling, editing, debugging and transforming<br>
XML technologies. Latest release adds native support for
#X3D Graphics international standard."<br>
"Altova reports 5,367,804 users worldwide who have
XMLSpy"<br>
21 March 2020<br>

target="_blank">https://twitter.com/web3dconsortium/status/1245453673523638272</a><br>
<br>
Am happy to have a teleconference sometime if that might assist in your
efforts.<br>
<br>
Thanks again. Having fun with X3D! 8)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
