We think this will help and it is pretty cool so we are adding 3D PDF to all circuit boards we offer. We started with the modules the community made 3D models off. We will be adding more soon.
I opened it successfully once in Chrome. The second time I tried, an Adobe Reader update ran automatically, and now I get the same error Gralin sees. A document does open, but it’s just a small plain red box. The error occurs in the browser or in Reader proper. Version is 10.1.2. Chrome version is 16.0.912.75.
[edit] looks like the 10.1.2 update came out 1/10/12, and there were some 3D related bugs “fixed”… there isn’t any way I can find to uninstall these updates.
It seems to work for me…wait an update notice just popped up, it says it is for 10.1.2 which was released two days ago. Installed it, let me reboot and see what happens…
Well, at least we have most of the modules as sketchup files on the wiki, thanks to some overachieving forum members (cough). In the brief time I did get to look at the power module, it does look like a better render than sketchup, and the animated view is slick. This is what they call the bleeding edge, I think
Most GHI modules now have a 3D PDF file available for download. Just browse to the module you want in the catalog, and select the downloads tab.
The 3D files should now work with the new adobe version as well!
Awesome! Thanks. Any chance you could post a zip of all of them someplace? Takes awhile to download them one by one… maybe add this to the wiki where the google sketchup files are. There is a column for the PDF link, but a zip would be better.
