<!-- 
XSL transformation to generate an X3D file from the xml data used for 
the STEPTools WebGL demo (http://www.steptools.com/demos)

This transformation takes two parameters
shell : an XPath expression identifying the nodes in the source XML file which contains
geometry to be converted to X3D

include-normal : enter as true() or false()  whether normal geometry data taken from
source file should be included in X3D geometry
-->


An XSLT script can generate an X3D file from the triangle data in WebGL data. The script used takes two parameters. Using the [[http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html xsltproc]] XSLT command line tool, the invocation looks like:

 xsltproc  -param "shape" "//shell[@id='id55130']" -param "include-normal" "false()"   convert_to_x3d.xsl boxy.xml > boxy_shell.x3d
