Get started

You can start the CLI application in a terminal with

java -Xverify:none -jar core.jar –headless -a cli

Then, to create the default new rgg template project, type $createWB.

You can now run the model with `run`, reset with compile, or export the 3d view with export3d /path/to/file.x3d.

You can also open your own project with $open /path/to/model.gsz.

Note: the command $help lists most of the available commands with a description

You can have a look at this tutorial for more information.

The commands are sorted by level of usage. There is currently three levels: at application, window, or workbench level.

The first character of a command indicates at which level it should be executed.
