3D PDF and rendered image in a single PDF file

[Al Hart]

We have added a feature to IRender nXt which lets you quickly create a PDF file with the rendered image of your model, and the 3D model itself combined into a single 3D PDF file.

This works pretty well. We plan to add it to RPS 3D PDF so you can use rendered images from other rendering packages, and to SpaceDesign so you can include SketchUp Images and well as 3D PDF version of the SketchUp model in your reports.

Disclaimer: As with most 3D PDF features, this can all be done with Adobe Acrobat as well. We just make it easier to format and create the whole thing in one step.

We had a lot of positive responses to this rendered image/3D Model in the same PDF file from IRender nXt users. (See: New 3D PDF interface for IRender nXt)

So we have added the same feature to RPS 3D PDF. The new version of RPS 3D PDF adds a rendering from the SketchUp Window to the PDF file to flip/flop with the 3D model. Using the new interface, you can easily replace the SketchUp rendering with any other image - including renderings from other rendering packages - achieve the same image/3D effect using any rendering package.
