Hi lovely community 🙂

 

I am hoping that you might be able to help me with the above. I have an interavice BlueBeam Model that I would like to place in Indesign and then export the document so the Model with continue to be interactive once the document is exported. I am having two issues.

 

One. How do I place the Interactive BlueBeam Model into the Indesign document so that it will work? I have tried to do so like a normal image but it is not working. I have tried to research this online but am not finding any how to's.

 

Two. Once I have mananged to do this, do I just export the document as an interactive PDF and the Interactive BlueBeam Model with work interactively and play in the document when uploaded to our website? Or if I upload it to a flipbook website it will work, but what do I save/export the document as etc.

 

This one has got me very stuck as its something I have never done before, so your help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a lovely day. 🙂

AFAIK, there's no way to accomplish this with InDesign. Wether you can get it to work straight from Acrobat is a question for the Acrobat forum.

I know it was, or was once going to be, possible to embed 3D images in PDFs so that they could be viewed in full global rotation in Acrobat. (I worked on a project for a parts manufacturer, lo some many years ago, in which the goal was to have these parts fully modeled and visible using a 3D image.)

 

I am not sure where that possibility stands, about eight years later.
