What would be a good workflow getting your Sketchup model into a 3D PDF ?

Check out Deep Publisher, it's free and you can use skp-files directly...

I thought I had to export to 3DS, but it open skp-files directly..!!

Thanks, Frederick. And thank you, US Military-Industrial Complex!

They have military advisers?

cheers, Frederik.

I only knew Deep Exploration - and that is not free. I just tried to export a 3D-PDF the other day with adobe acrobat (in vain of course )

Thanks Frederick for that useful link...Deep Publisher sounds like a great solution for making 3D PDF out of SU files.
From what I read on the web, foxit is working hard to support viewing 3D PDF's.

Deep View needs Adobe Acrobat professional or Adobe 3D to export to 3d pdf:

So there is no free solution for me...

In case you missed it, a little down the page there is a link to a small, no-frills PDF viewer called Sumatra.

Down which page?
I can't see the option to view 3D Pdfs's with that app, or am I mistaken?

Sorry, it's just a little alternative PDF viewer with no 3D support.

I see. Thanks for the link.

Aaahhh... Bugger... Sorry about that...
I have Acrobat Pro and have thereby no problem converting to 3D PDF documents...

Unfortunately I can't check it today, but I'm sure that there's another free pdf-converter with 3D support that can do the job... Let me check a few things...

In the meantime, you can use Deep Publisher to include 3D models in your PP presentations, which is also a very handy feature...

Hypercosm can be included into PP presentations as well and it also has a free version.

ah well, meandering OT again...

I am a free - poor man

As I don't use sketchup for work, I don't earn money and... you know.

Double posting.

Reading the title of your post made me think of that article

I wonder how many people actually use any of the features in adobe that arent scrolling and zooming.

It took me hours to figure out how to use Adobe's text tool so I could insert text in a PDF. You would think it would be a noticable and clearly marked icon on the basic toolbar.
