3D PDF ( SimLab) and Dynamic component

[MALAISE]

Hello Everybody

Has anyone experienced Dynamic components exported into 3D PDF ?
Is it possible ?

Thanks

Pierre

I assume that you're asking if the dynamic actions will transfer to the 3D PDF, when using SimLab - right...?
Unfortunately they don't...

However, it also makes sense as the "Interact with dynamic components" pointer is something only SU is capable of, hence it's not something Acrobat Reader is able to...

The only thing you can do is to create camera views in SimLab, which will get exported to the 3D PDF document...

I've attached a sample I just made...
In SU you can open the doors, the trunk and hood and more - but these don't work in the PDF...

Simple dynamic components works fine in LightUp !

I have not tested if the animation exported in luca format accept this "Dynamic Component" animation! (hard disc burned)
Edit : works! It's writed in the manual! (page 54)
(format who permit to any user who have not Sketchup and/or Lightup to interact with the animation rendered) !

As a PDF document...?!?

From the video you've posted as well as the manual you've posted a link to, I don't see that it's converted to a 3D PDF document, which is what the OP asked for...

Can you please elaborate, Pilou...??

Hi Frederik and Pilou

Effectively, I didn't find solution, as far as Dynamic component is SketchUp internal property.
Thanks for help.
Cheers

Of course that don't make a real PDF 3D but that is a "PDF 3D like" for the user and better!

• possibility to walk through inside a rendered file + Dynamic Components working!
