MichaelMinick Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I am a designer and builder and would love for my Superintendents to be able to view the 3d Perspective Framing Overview out in the field on their mobile device via the 3D Viewer app. Is this possible? I exported a Chief Architect 3D Viewer File from a Perspective Framing Overview camera view, but when I opened it in the 3D Viewer App, it appeared as the Perspective Full Overview. Any help with this would be appreciated! - Lloyd Minick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 You create a framing overview camera. Open that camera's active Display Options Dialog and make sure all desired layer are on (visible) then export to a 3D Viewer file. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also switch cameras from within the viewer, if you sent multiples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it is still not possible to show rendering techniques from the software in the 3D viewer as displayed in Chris's second post. The best you get is what is shown in the first post with the textures visible. It is a bit more work and requires a couple of 3rd party software programs but edge lines have been available in 3D PDF for a long time now.

I guess I am just another guy a little bit non-plussed with the 3d viewer. I have accepted we can't get the physically based camera but it would be nice if we could get the lines drawing over the standard view. (Yes, I realize I can do it with PDFs etc).

para-CAD Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Chief sometimes doesn't frame things as a framing crew would so be careful. Always review before sending it to your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
