Adobe ACROBAT 3D Manual page 562

Creating and managing 3D views
The default view of a 3D model lets you quickly revert to a starting point at any time as
you interact with the model. A default view is different from a preview, which determines
what the 3D model looks like when it's not activated. The list of all available views for the
3D model appears in the Views menu on the 3D toolbar and in the Model Tree.
You can also create additional views of the 3D model in Acrobat that let you quickly
navigate the 3D content as you want (such as top, bottom, left, right, inside, outside,
exploded, or assembled). A view includes lighting, camera position, rendering mode, the
Model Tree state, and transparency and cross section settings. When you add a comment
or markup to the 3D model, Acrobat 3D automatically creates a view. (See
on 3D designs.)
You can link views to bookmarks in the Bookmarks tab, or you can use the Go To 3D
View action to link views to buttons and links that you create on the page.
To create a new view:
1. With the Hand Tool, click the 3D model to enable it.
2. Use the tools in the 3D toolbar to change the view.
3. In the Model Tree, click the Create View icon
In Acrobat 3D, you can add views when converting a 3D CAD file to a PDF
document. Select Add Default Views, and then select the type of views you want to add.
