FAQ
B to WRL Conversion
What are B files?
.b is a specialized binary grid format developed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to distribute coordinate transformation grids for GEOCON and NADCON 5.0 workflows. Designed originally by Dennis Milbert to standardize geoid and datum shift manipulations, a file of this type contains spatial coordinate corrections (latitude, longitude, or ellipsoidal height offsets) stored as continuous gridded records. The format features a unique structural characteristic rooted in its legacy FORTRAN generation: every data record is wrapped within leading and trailing 4-byte buffer artifacts that specify record length. A single .b file typically stores only one components of a three-dimensional transformation—such as latitude shifts—requiring complementary companion files with identical structures to fully execute a high-precision datum conversion across regions of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS).
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.
Can reaConverter convert B to WRL?
Yes! reaConverter instantly converts .b to .wrl with perfect quality preservation. With its batch processing feature, you can convert multiple files at once in just a few clicks. You can even convert images directly from Windows Explorer using the right-click menu — fast and convenient.
What is reaConverter used for?
reaConverter is a Windows converter for 800+ formats, GIS data among them.
