Select the part you want to hide or isolate, and then do one of the following:
•
To view only that part of the model, right-click and choose Part Options > Isolate.
•
To conceal that part of the model, right-click and choose Part Options > Hide.
2
To display the full model after isolating or hiding individual parts, click the Default View icon on the 3D toolbar.
Change the model
❖
Right-click the part of the model you want to change, and then make any of the following changes:
•
To change the rendering mode of the object, choose Part Options > Part Rendering Mode, and then select a
rendering mode.
•
To change the background color, choose Viewing Options > Select A Background Color. Then select the color you
want in the color picker that appears, and click OK.
•
To add or change a script for the 3D model, choose Files > Load A JavaScript. Browse to select a script, and click Open.
•
To add or change a poster for the 3D model, choose Poster > Load Poster. Browse to select an image, and click Open.
Note:
The poster is the image that is displayed on the page when the model is not activated.
Set the default view of a 3D model (Word and Excel)
❖
Right-click the 3D model and do one of the following:
•
To revert to the default view after manipulating the 3D object, choose Views > Default View.
•
To set the current view (including zoom level, orientation, position, and background color) as the default view,
choose Views > Set As Default View.
If these options aren’t available when you right-click, select the Exit Design Mode button on the Control Toolbox
(Office 2003) or the Developer tab (Office 2007).
Note:
From within a PowerPoint document, reset the default view by choosing View > Slide Show, and choosing either
Set Default View or Go To Default View.
Interacting with 3D models
Displaying 3D models
In Acrobat, you can view and interact with high-quality 3D content created in professional 3D CAD or 3D modeling
programs and embedded in PDFs. For example, you can hide and show parts of a 3D model, remove a cover to look
inside, and turn parts around as if holding them in your hands.
A 3D model initially appears as a two-dimensional preview image. Clicking the 3D model with the Hand or Select tool
enables (or activates) the model, opens the 3D toolbar, and plays any animation.
