How to Modify WRL in SolidWorks

SolidWorks, a computer-aided design application, lets you import models saved in various file formats, including virtual reality modeling language files. VRML files are typically saved with the WRL extension. To edit WRL files in SolidWorks, first import them into a program by following a specific procedure.
