3D PDF - Anyone Heard of This?

Bluebeam as shown above has just as much power..
Love pulling models apart via 3D PDF... Will upload a snowmobile example or enviorodome cad examples. Makes it really awesome with BB doing markups & callouts...
Bb vu is much lighter than cads viewers and dont have to Hunt down xrefs shx fonts and all the other things engineers won't send along with files

Looks a lot like what Google Sketchup is, and it looks like it was spun off into it's own company.

http://www.sketchup.com/Not anything like that. This is taking an actual CAD file, like a CATpart from CATIA v5 that is in 3D space, and putting it into a PDF, with basic controls while retaining the geometry allowing someone to view and take measurements of the 3D object without having to have CATIA v5 loaded on their workstation.

so you cannot edit or markup the file?
So really for the non engineer folks ... -

So really for the non engineer folks ...That is what it's geared for, non-engineer types. You can do markups, take measurements and do basic tasks like switch views (if the file supported views), inspect properties etc. You can't design a 3D object.
This is a view from Adobe Acrobat Reader XI

So many free viewers. We used to use Solidworks eDrawings, which was great, but they don't currently support the lastest Autodesk Inventor file formats. So now we use Autodesk Inventor View. However, this software is a bit too limited for many of our users. We're trying to do away with printed drawings on the factory floor, but this means the factor floor workers need to be able to do some basic manipulation on the model in order to get a view of what they need. Inventor View is more of a simple printing tool.
Hopefully, Adobe might come to the rescue.
