App to convert a 3D model ( like pdf out of SolidWorks )
-
-
thanks a lot for your quick reply!
-
by the way, is there any free similar program like these?
i know, that some people think, that what is free is unworthy, but i must disagree.
thanks ! -
Some free programms
Meshlab can do that
Just save your SKP file in Collada or OBJ format and you can make a PDF 3D with it ! (with just MeshLab and LaTeX.)Seems DoubleCadXT 3 can also reload 3D file SKP and move it and rotate and scale
Babel 3D as Converter (save as SKP SU vervion 7)

hi pilou,
it´s very kind of you, thank you !
pretty fast answer !
it´s pleasure to have you around here !

you may export from inside SU to VRML and use the free Cortona VRML Plug-in for viewing inside MS IE and Mozilla Firefox as well as MS Office.
hth,

just export as collada..
send that to someone and when they double click on it, the file will,by defualt, open in Preview.. you can orbit, zoom, etc the model without installing anything on the viewer's computer or without using any exporter that doesn't already come with sketchup (free or pro)
(of course, this is on mac but i assume whatever app windows comes with to view images,pdf,etc will do the same)
