3D pdf

[durand]

Hello group, I have not needed to use the 3D pdf in several years but now I have a client that wants it. My first questions is, I can only see and use the 3d functions if I open it up in Adobe but if I let a browser open it up I don't see any way to rotate or zoom the part, does anyone know a work around for that? Second question is when I open the pdf in Adobe the round parts are not smooth. I don't remember years ago this was a problem.

Thanks for the help!
Eric

Most PDF readers don't understand 3D data - use Acrobat reader.

For part smoothness make sure that facet resolution is set to Fine before publishing to PDF.

Thanks DavidJ for the info.

If you get an Error message when 3D pdf printing, it is probably having trouble with a LOFT in some part or parts if any assembly.
