      Hey there,

      I create models for custom housing which many of the clients want to look at in the comfort of their own home. We currently send the clients to the viewer page and ask them to download it, but there are always issues with the clients computer savy. The result is hassel for the client and my company alike. Recently we discovered that sketchup models can be bought into Microstation, tweaked up a bit and then exported to a PDF file in a 3d format. The clients can then rotate, zoom etc. with all the materials applied. I was wondering if there is a way to export to a 3d PDF from the native sketchup file...Ruby scripts, external programs...any suggestions?

      Many thanks,

      Graeme

        Yup, Al Hart of Render Plus Systems has a great pdf exporter. It can downloaded here:
