Did you know you can easily share all your 3D MicroStation designs via an interactive PDF document? Just imagine, instead of sending your customer a long boring document with flat drawings of your project proposal, you can now - by the push of a button - provide them with an intelligent and interactive model of what the end result will look like. As long as your customer has Adobe Reader 7 installed, he/she can not only view your 3D model, but they can also interact with it. Make sections, change lighting, rotate, fly through, change color, measure dimensions, ... basically it can do everything short of cooking and cleaning their kitchen (and even than ;-).
This is probably the marketeer in me geeking-out but I truly love this capability! Especailly since it's a native feature of MicroStation (and even Bentley RedLine) and doesn't require any add-ons to be installed. Just have a look at some of these real-world examples and tell me this is not the coolest thing you've seen all day/week/month/year! Especially don't miss the following interactive PDF examples:
Hey.
I am not able to enable measuring for my 3D PDF Files when plotted using the standard PDF.pltcfg, and wonder how to go about sorting this out?
Adobe Reader 8 mentions something about Document Rights needing to be enabled when I try to open the measuring toolbar.
Any clues?
Cheers
