3D PDF

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build up my first 3D pdf for client presentation.

I did an easy test exporting the 3d model of a simple wall as .u3d file, and then I placed it in my empty pdf page.

Then I tried to import the .u3d file of a building in design, but Acrobat crashed a few times. The size of the .u3d model I'm trying to import is 60-70 Mb.

Does anyone use 3D pdf on a regular basis? Is my file size too large?


Thanks!

Enrico

I can't mount the .u3d with Reader 9.4 on mac. I have no 3D Tool. I guess it's Pro only.

Correct - you can only embed the U3D into a PDF using Acrobat Pro. Once embedded, the 3D PDF can be viewed with Reader.

Cheers,

On a Windows machine you can embed the U3D file to the PDF directly from Archicad (Publisher).
According to the manual this can't be done on a Mac.
But maybe it can if you are running Archicad through Windows on the Mac?

what is up with a MAC Archicad and WIN Archicad...WTF is going on?
Can they not have the same "plug-ins" work correctly on them? Geez...can't we all just get along here...really. it's ruining it for everyone else.

Also...when will GS move it's HQ to southern California?
