Alternate Mode of Virtual Scene Viewer Now Default

The alternate mode of virtual scene viewer introduced in Version 5.0 (R2009a) is now the default viewer for all supported platforms (except for Linux® platforms). Using vrsetpref to set the DefaultViewer property to 'internal' enables this version of the virtual scene viewer.

To reactivate the legacy (former) viewer, use vrsetpref to set the DefaultViewer property to 'internalv4'.

Compatibility Considerations

The alternate mode of virtual scene viewer introduced in Version 5.0 (R2009a) is now the default viewer for all supported platforms (except for Linux platforms). At a minimum, this viewer provides the same functionality as the legacy viewer.

Support on the 64-Bit Intel Macintosh Platform

The Simulink 3D Animation software now supports the 64-bit Intel® Macintosh® platform.

VRML Files Recognized in MATLAB Current Folder Browser

The MATLAB Current Folder browser now supports .wrl files. This support enables you to perform standard MATLAB file operations on the .wrl file in the Current Folder browser. For example, double-clicking a .wrl file in the Current Folder browser now starts the Simulink 3D Animation viewer for that .wrl file. In previous releases, double-clicking a .wrl file in the current folder browser started the MATLAB editor for that file.

Changed vr.canvas Units Property Default

The vr.canvas method Units property default is now 'normalized'. In the previous release, the default was 'pixels'. The vrgetpref function DefaultCanvasUnits property controls the default of the vr.canvas Units property.

Improved Performance of Orbisnap in Remote Configuration

The performance speed of the Simulink 3D Animation Stand-Alone Viewer (Orbisnap) has been improved.
