FAQ
ASC to WRL Conversion
What are ASC files?
The ASC (Esri ASCII Grid) format stores raster geospatial data as plain text. Developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), it describes a rectangular grid of cells using a short header — number of columns and rows, coordinates of the lower-left corner, cell size and a no-data value — followed by the cell values themselves, written row by row as ordinary numbers. Because the entire grid is human-readable text, ASC is widely used for exchanging elevation models, slope maps and other continuous surfaces between GIS packages that would otherwise share no common binary format.
What are WRL files?
The WRL file format (commonly known as VRML, Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a standard file format for representing 3D interactive vector graphics and textures, designed particularly for the early World Wide Web. Files using this format typically carry the .wrl extension.
