3D PDF Development

A 3D interactive user experience within a standard PDF document small enough to email.

As a complement to virtual community simulations, we also create three-dimensional digital replicas of communities or project areas within a standard PDF document! Much like a virtual community simulation, users can directly interact with the content of the PDF document. This interactive approach allow viewers to have a far more comprehensive understanding of an area in far less time than it takes to review a set of two-dimensional drawings or a series of renderings.

When is a 3D PDF document the ideal interactive visualization tool?

Although virtual community simulations and Google Earth based presentations also offer immersive three dimensional interactivity, a 3D PDF document is an attractive option when:

  • You need a solution that is easy to distribute and download
  • You need to demonstrate how one or more design alternatives will impact topgography
  • You need to integrate and visualize data within the environment, such as traffic study results or cadastral data
  • You need your visualization to be fully functional offline

How We Do It

The interactive 3D PDF documents that we develop do not require any special software to use. They are fully functional in any modern free version of Adobe Reader. In most cases the resulting PDF is small enough to make available for quick download from a website or for mass distribution via email.

Why It Matters

When you want to inspire others to take positive action, it’s not enough to just convey information – you need to make an impression. Having the ability that a 3D PDF document gives you to freely share information and ideas in a unique and immersive way is a highly effective way to do exactly that.

We can expand Google Earth’s functionality to create a multi-media presentation within the context of a specific area of interest.
