Some things I like to do with Acrobat 3D - how can I

Question

Hi there,
I want to do the following two things in a 3D PDF:
- Disable the 3d toolbar. I want to present a Model which can be rotated, zooomed and moved by using the mouse but the viewer shouldn't be allowed to do anything else than that and the 3d toolbar should not be shown on top of the document even if the viewer clicks in it.
And second:
- I want the view reset to the standard view after a specific time of inactivity. For example if the viewer didn't move the mouse for 1 minute the view should automatically reset to the start pov.
I'm sure there must be a way to this using javascript but I have no idea how to do.
Would be really great if you can help.
Best regards
Sascha

Hello,
Here is a sample code, you can set it to any of the Named views. The following script sets the view to the first named view after 10 seconds of no mouse activity (over the 3D annotation):
var patience = 10; // number of seconds to wait until switching view
var counter = 0;
var mouseHandler = new MouseEventHandler();
mouseHandler.onEvent = function( event ) { counter = 0; }
runtime.addEventHandler( mouseHandler );
var timer = new TimeEventHandler();
timer.onEvent = function( event )
  counter += event.deltaTime;
if ( counter > patience )
   if ( runtime.viewCount > 0 )
    runtime.setView( 0, true );
  counter = 0;
runtime.addEventHandler( timer );
hope this can be helpful
