I really hope this option in Acrobat continues to be supported by Adobe. The only real option for Viewing a 3D model in a pdf on both a Mac and PC is via the 3D pdf or the GLC_Player. Also, animated pdf's will not work either, only the Storyboard type animation, not the Timeline animation. The options are quite varied, but it would not open on our laptop. or better still, a software app that exports to 3D pdf.Īs for the for the DXFx, great for Windows but no good in a Mac. Might as well try to find a software app that can save or convert the 3D file to a. stp in a 3D pdf, there is not much point to it. So, even though it is possible to open a. Also, you have to watch the options or the quality will not be that great either. When I tried to open multiple parts they split up and the colours were lost too. stp format a test and yes, it will open in a 3D pdf file but I only found that a single part is best. Perhaps after I get my head around it tools, I might think differently about the animation features, but after using many other animation apps, this has to be the strangest… Saying that, Inventor Pro is just amazing… If it had a better animation process and could save the animated 3D pdf, or save it from Inventor Publisher, then these two software apps would be the best of the best and bloody amazing! I have only been playing with the new Inventor Pro 2012 for about a week now, and to be honest, I am finding the animation side painful. As far as I can work out it will NOT save an animated 3D pdf, or even an animated DWFx, not that I have ever made one of those. Almost amazing, but it falls down on a few things. When you consider the price for 3DVIA, Autodesk Inventor Pro which can save the DWFx, together with Inventor Publisher, which can also save both the DXFx and 3D pdf is a great 3D tool set. If the price of this software were more affordable, I would most defiantly recommend it. I am running my Safari in 64bit mode, I have to change this to 32bit and other things need to be changed for the VIA player to work but I am yet to work that one out on my Mac. It works ok in Windows it’s the Mac that has issues. This tells me that if I cannot view content, what chance would anyone I send the 3D files have. I am yet to get it working after many attempts. Its own player is almost impossible to play content on a Mac. 3DVIA has some great features and it can save as the 3D pdf as well as its own 3D player, which leads me into another reason why I would avoid buying this very expensive software. When I finally did, I found it to be way overpriced at about $10K Aus as far as I read. Firstly is the price of it, and that’s if you can find out the price of it. This is a great software app but I personally would avoid buying it for many reasons. The 3D pdf is great for vector graphics such as CAD files. One problem in viewing any 3D in a pdf with a texture map, it does not support the bitmaps very well and it doesn’t support the bump map at all, so a 3D pdf with bitmap render map can look very flat. You can use the GLC_Player on both Mac and PC, which will play most 3D files extension like obj, 3ds and 3DXM and more and the quality is quite good too, even bitmap rendered 3D’s. dae file format and others you can get plugins. There are a few software apps that can save as the. dae file extension, which you can be viewed in GLC_Player. One of these it the Collada file with the. There are other options for viewing 3D without the pdf. I think it’s my Mac and not the software. For the cheaper option and great support, I would buy Tetra4D even though I have experienced issues. I know Tetra4D are working hard on other options for 3D so this might be something worth waiting for. Also, the 3D pdf is viewable on both a PC and Mac without any extra players. For one thing, since Tetra4D have taken up the 3D Tools in the pdf, I would hate to see their hard work be in vain. It’s a great 3D viewing platform since 95% of the world’s computers have the pdf reader, and don’t forget that many people bought the 3D Tool Box from Adobe. I have heard that the 3D option in the pdf might not be supported by Adobe in the future but to be honest, I think it will be a very silly move. iges format is probably the best option since I get great results from using this 3D file extension. For the money, it’s probably the cheapest option but for me I found it struggles to cope, perhaps it’s the fact I am using it on a Mac with Bootcamp, not sure. stp from Inventor Fusion so I will try that out, unless I am misunderstanding the point raised. I did a quick search and this is well worth further investigation. u3d that could go directly into a 3D pdf, as an inserted 3D. Forums are just great since they lead me into some interesting directions, one of these being the. I joined this forum after reading this thread sorry it’s a bit long… Some interesting points have been raised.
