Acrobat 3D - Camera mode

Post by BT »

How can I switch from object mode to camera mode in Acrobat 3D?
I would like to "walk through" my 3D models (as in 3Dconnexion Viewer) but I cannot rotate the view, only the model.

No 3D Mouse Pop-Up Menu outside 3Dconnexion viewer?

By the way: there is any way to move the rotation center?

Thanks

PS: I use Windows 7 64 bit and Acrobat 9 pro extended. My models are made using Microstation V8i.

Hi BT,

there is no camera mode available in the current implementation. You can try with reversing the axis directions, but this is not the best solution.

And no, there is no way to move the rotation center, sorry. :(

Yes, I've reversed the axis directions, but in this way I can only rotate the model, not the view.
This make very difficult to walk through a building.
Are you going to implement camera view for Acrobat 3D in you next software upgrade? :idea:

Dear BT,

We provide a free SDK, Software Development Kit, for developers to make it as easy as possible to include use of our input devices in their user interfaces. We welcome and encourage application developers to take advantage of the input from our devices to enhance their user interfaces.

If you know of, or can imagine ways to make use of the input from our devices that would be beneficial in an application, we encourage you to let that application's developers or their marketing department know of this added value. Encourage them to make the changes in their next development cycle that you would find valuable.

So, let Adobe know how you would make use of a camera mode in their application and how valuable you would find it. Explain to them how you would like a rotation center to be set. Let know how you would like to be able to walk through your models.

Sincerely,
Bryan
The more things change, the more they remain the same. ; ^ )
