Adobe 3D Reviewer: No "reduce model" function like in 3D Toolkit?

I'm using Adobe 3D Reviewer to prepare 3D models. I'm trying to reduce the file size of a gigantic 3D model. But it appears that Adobe 3D Reviewer does not have the "reduce model" function that was available in Acrobat 3D Toolkit to reduce mesh size.
Any thoughts or tips?
Thanks!

You are correct, there are no tools in 3D Reviewer to reduce mesh size except for the compression option available for both PRC and U3D when exporting to PDF.
To export to PDF from 3D Reviewer and use the compression option, please follow these steps:
1) open your model in 3D Reviewer
2) go to File>Export
3) choose PDF for the file type
4) click on Options (lower left corner)
5) ckick on Options (again)
6) select PRC Tessellation for the Format
7) check the box Compress Tessellation
8) uncheck the other box
9) click OK
10) click OK (again)
11) click Save
Hope this helps

  • Ai Beginner, Can I make the pen tool function like it does in Photoshop?

    I have been using photoshop to do various things over the last few years, and I am trying to move over to Illustrator. The biggest problem I have already is the function of the pen tool in Ai as opposed to Ps. I have to select an entirely different tool to move points? I can't just hold control and move the point? Is there a way that I can make the hot keys and what not function like the pen tool does in Ps. Why the change in the first place?
    (Also, I am using CS4)

    A feature request maybe? But then there's no-one from Adobe listening out there anyway, so what's the point?
    That's not at all true I have made many feature reques and had quite a few realized. Although one of the bestones was killed.
    But if you make a feature request the right way and you give a good argument for it they will look at it and see if they think it is practical for them to implement.
    The key is practical and a really good reason for the feature.
    And I do know from experience.

  • Adobe Captivate Reviewer - won't load .crev file in Vista

    Using Reviewer for the first time (Captivate 4 on Vista box).
    Downloaded Reviewer from email link
    Clicked on .crev file from email link
    In the Reviewer, got message "Unable to load SWF file. Try opening Adobe Captivate Reviewer in the Administrator mode"  (see pic)
    Clicked OK
    Clicked the .crev file in email link again per message "Load Adobe Captivate Movie (.crev, .swf., or .zip)"
    Got same "unable to load.... " message again (see pic). Viscious circle here
    Downloaded Reviewer to my XP machine - all works like it should.
    What do I need to do to my Vista box (primary machine) for the Reviewer to work?

    This issue arises because, for some reason, the adobe developer(s) have hard coded a temporary file location of "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate Reviewer <X>*\workspace" to store the .crev, .swf or .zip file when you open it from its original location.  In most corporate environments "\Program Files\ or \Program Files (x86)\" is, correctly, restricted to non-administrative users to ensure the integrity of managed applications and the industry standards for temporary storage have been long established as \temp\, \windows\temp\ or <user profile>\appdata\temp\
    The corporate workaround to your issue is relatively simple.  Your user account needs to be granted the privilege to be able to create and own the workspace folder in the above location.  If this is not feasible then you could always just copy the entire contents of "C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Adobe\Adobe Captivate Reviewer <X>*" to a location on your machine where you have full access, i.e. your desktop.
    Ultimately Adobe development need to update the code in Adobe Air.dll to create the workspace in a temporary folder that conforms to industry standards

  • Curve fitting problem: simultaneously fitting two datasets to two different model functions with shared parameters

    Hello! As stated above, I have the following problem: I have 2 sets (different systems) of measurement data (Voltages measured as functions of applied frequency). I would like to make curve fits with Levenber-Marquardt-method to both datasets (the datasets have the same x-values = frequencies), fitting the 2 datasets to their own separate model functions. However, the different model functions should have same values for the shared parameters (this prevents me from doing 2 totally separate curve fittings).
    I have LabVIEW version 7.1, if anybody could help me with the problem, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!

  • Multiple reviewers cannot open CREV files in Adobe Captivate Reviewer 1.0 after the first review

    We are using Captivate 4.0 with Captivate Reviewer 1.0 for review and comments. The problem we are having just started within the last month...
    We place the CREV file and folder on the network so that multiple reviewers can access. All have Adobe Captivate Reviewer 1.0 installed.
    When the first person opens the CREV file, they are told that the folder is already in use, and that they must create another.
    Once a new folder is created a user may open the CREV file and make comments and save them. However, subsequent reviewers cannot open the CREV file to add their comments. Subsequent reviewes must create anothe folder and then they can open and review the file and add comments.
    However, because the CREV file is now saving comments in a different folder, reviewers cannot see each others comments. The last module we did where everthing worked correctly and multiple reviewers could open and comment the same file without any issues was about one month ago on 07/29. We have no idea if something has changed since then that would render Captivate Reviewer 1.0 inoperable, but we'd like to see if anyone else has seen and/or resolved this issue...
    Thanks,
    James

    No, I've had WIndows 7 since it was released through MSDN.  Adobe Captivate 4, released in January 2009, was the most recent version of Captivate available when Windows 7 was released to MSDN and Technet subscribers in August 2009.  Captivate 5 was not released until May 2010, almost 9 months after Windows 7 was released to the public.
    Captivate 4 has a message at startup mentioning that one should run it as administrator, which is a Windows 7 feature involving User Account Control.  We bought it sometime after Windows 7 was released but before Captivate 5 was released, otherwise we would have bought Captivate 5.
    Captivate 4 has worked for us on Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.  For it to work on Windows Vista and up, we had to make sure a particular update was applied.
    The problem is that it works when it feels like it, and the rest of the time it just freezes at startup.  Deleting the app data folder seemed to help, so perhaps it had issues with state corruption.  These issues have plagued this application from day 1 on every OS we've used it on.

    How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible?  I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit.  It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues.  And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1. 
    And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible?  I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues.  And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other.  So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together.  If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together? 
    Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in.  So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed.  I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above. 

  • 3D animation help using Adobe 3D Reviewer

    I have a cad model with many components, each on their own level/layer. I want to create a simple animation to show the sequencing of the construction of my model. I set it up with the layers so that all I need is to turn on each layer in sequence to produce my desired animation.
    I have been using the create / play animation tool in 3D Reviewer, but it seems to have limited functionality. I want each step to be slower than what appears to be the slowest setting for this tool. I also can't figure out the camera tools - it would be nice to zoom in at various points during the sequence, etc.
    The bottom line is this:
    Am I using the wrong tool to try and create this type of animation? If so, what should I be using? (Bear in mind I am a draftsman, not a programmer, so any scripts, etc, need to be VERY simple).
    If the route I am current trying to take is worthwhile to achieve my final goal, can anyone point me to a useful guide for using this tool? The help section of 3D Reviewer is very simplistic - but maybe that is because the tool really doesn't have much functionality?
    Thanks

    3D Reviewer has very basic functionality.
    I suggest getting your hands dirty with programing.  I think it may be the only option for sophisticated outputs.
    Download the latest Acrobat Javascript SDK.   Make a document level JavaScript and use a timer and an iterative loop to cycle through all the parts  you want to show/hide.

  • How to use an external start button for 6024E w/ sc-2345, I would like it to function like a start button in LabView but I don't know how to connect the external button to the sc-2345's connector block

    I am confused as to how to connect my external start botton. I would like it to function like a start button on a front panel of a VI. I would like to use the +5V on pin 14 but I really don't know where to go from here. Any guidence for a novice would be most appreciated.

    phod,
    This is the LabVIEW Real-Time forum, so I suggest that in the future that you post this type of question to the Multifunction DAQ forum.
    For the simplest solution you will have to connect your button to a digital line of your board, consult the sc-2345 user manual for a diagram of where these lines are exposed. You will have to connect your start button in series with a line that is high, such as your 5V pin or another digital line. Then connect this to a digital line that will be your start trigger.
    Your program can poll the digital line that is connected to your button in a while loop and when it goes high, it lets the rest of the program execute. For the programming, I suggest you take a look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW. If yo
    u have LabVIEW 7.0 go to Help>>Find Examples. Open Hardware Input Output>>Traditional DAQ>>Digital Input and Output>>E Series for some examples of digital I/O programming with E-series boards.
    Hope that gets you started.

  • Left outer join functions like simple join

    I created two views SCO_REQGROSSLINES_V & SCO_REQLINESCOMPLETE on Oracle requisitions base tables. Our business rules enforce the following identity: the number of gross requisition lines will always be greater than or equal to the number of requisition lines complete. (By complete I mean delivered.)
    Each view has a key named DATESUBINV_KEY constructed of a transaction date and the subinventory code using this logic:
    , TO_CHAR(TRUNC(transaction_date),'YYYYMMDD') || subinventory_code
    On 03-SEP-2010 a user created a requisition with one line item for material from the HEAT subinventory which was not delivered. This row is retuned in the result set when I query on SCO_REQGROSSLINES_V but is NOT returned when I query on SCO_REQLINESCOMPLETE. So far so good.
    When I issue either of the the following left outer joins I do not get the row for the row for the HEAT subinventory on 03-SEP-2010:
    select rgl.trxn_date
    , rgl.subinventory
    , rgl.line_count gross_line_count
    , rgl.ext_prc gross_value
    , rlc.line_count lines_filled
    , rlc.ext_prc lines_filled_value
    from SCO_REQGROSSLINES_V rgl left outer join sco_reqlinescomplete_v rlc
    ON rgl.datesubinv_key = rlc.datesubinv_key
    where rgl.TRXN_DATE BETWEEN to_date('29-AUG-2010') AND to_date('04-SEP-2010')
    and rlc.trxn_date BETWEEN to_date('29-AUG-2010') AND to_date('04-SEP-2010')
    order by rgl.trxn_date, rgl.subinventory
    select rgl.trxn_date, rgl.subinventory
    , rgl.line_count gross_line_count
    , rgl.ext_prc gross_value
    , rlc.line_count lines_filled
    , rlc.ext_prc lines_filled_value
    from SCO_REQGROSSLINES_V rgl
    , sco_reqlinescomplete_v rlc
    where rgl.TRXN_DATE BETWEEN to_date('29-AUG-2010') AND to_date('04-SEP-2010')
    and rlc.trxn_date BETWEEN to_date('29-AUG-2010') AND to_date('04-SEP-2010')
    AND rgl.datesubinv_key = rlc.datesubinv_key(+)
    order by rgl.trxn_date, rgl.subinventory
    Question: Why would the left outer joins function as a simple join on DATESUBINV_KEY? Do keys on views function differently than keys defined in the data dictionary? If they do how can I make these keys to function like data dictionary keys?

    Hi,
    The WHERE clause is applied after the outer join is completed. In your example, rows from rgl will be in the result set even if they have no match in rlc. In those cases, all the columns from rlc will be NULL.
    Okay, so you have these rows that contain data from rgl but NULLs where the data from rlc was supposed to go. Now it's time to start the WHERE clause. You then apply conditions like this in the WHERE clause:
    AND     rlc.trxn_date BETWEEN ...NULL is between anything, so the row that the outer join prodeuced is rejected.
    All conditions involivn columns from rlc probably need to be part of the join condition, not the WHERE clause.
    For example, in you first query the FROM and WHERE clauses might be:
    FROM          sco_reqgrosslines_v      rgl
    LEFT OUTER JOIN  sco_reqlinescomplete_v  rlc  ON    rgl.datesubinv_key   = rlc.datesubinv_key
                                            AND   rlc.trxn_date       BETWEEN TO_DATE ( '29-AUG-2010'
                                                                        , 'DD-MON-YYYY'
                                                  AND       TO_DATE ( '04-SEP-2010'
                                                              , 'DD-MON-YYYY'
    WHERE   rgl.trxn_date     BETWEEN TO_DATE ( '29-AUG-2010'
                             , 'DD-MON-YYYY'
                   AND     TO_DATE ( '04-SEP-2010'
                             , 'DD-MON-YYYY'
                             )Always use (at least) two arguments when calling TO_DATE.
    Conditions that only involve rgl can be in the WHERE clause, but if any conditions from rlc are in the WHERE clause, then the effect will be the same as an inner join.
    There no difference between tables and views (or sub-queries) in this regard: the same thing would happen regardless of whether rgl and rlc were really tables or not.
