Is it possible to place 3D (PRC or U3D) on a particular layer?

Hello.

Is it possible to place 3D on a particular layer in the PDF file?

From the Acrobat DC UI, when I add a 3D it adds to the entire document as the content is not added to a specific layer.

I wonder if there is a way to add 3D via scripting.

Thanks in advance.

Technically, yes, you can assign a 3D Annotation to any layer/OCG that you wish. You will need to use the Plugin API (or the PDFLibrary) to do it, as it involves a low level API.

HI,

Of course, I should have thought of that, was too busy focusing in on the JavaScript and the current UI which doesn't appear to let you.

Hi ,

I don't believe it is possible to add and annot using 3d, or to add a 3d Annot to a specific layer with or without using scripting.
