2 ways to get 3D models online - and one way to get them on the iPad

We've been producing a lot of 3D models for as-built marketing drawings lately. We've also worked on ways to make these accessible to a wider audience. Here are two ways to easily get your models on the web:

First, consider using the built-in 3D capabilities of Adobe Acrobat. Any computer with Adobe Reader 9 or later will be able to view your model in 3D. You can distribute the file by email, or post it on-line:

If the model above does not work, try downloading the file and opening it with Adobe Reader.

The second method for publishing in 3D is to use a hosting service such as 3Dvia. Upload your model on their site and you can share it and embed it on the web.

If neither of these methods are working for you, chances you are using an iPad 'sans Flash'. Have no fear, there's other ways to access your model. For the iPad, download the 3Dvia app. The models that you've uploaded to the 3Dvia site are now automatically available on the iPad. You can turn it around and zoom with your fingers.

3D can help your prospects better visualize the space you have to offer. Even if you think it's a gimmick, it may just make your option a bit more memorable. Contact us to find out how easy (and cheap!) it can be to add 3D to your marketing tool-kit
