Dear Framers: A collaborator of mine has produced a fantastic layered graphic in the free version of Sketchup 7. It is a big file, over 10mb, which I had hoped to place in my FM file of 77MB. I had hoped, or assumed that Sketchup 7 (free) version would be able to save to .u3d which I erroneously assumed would be a free to air option in every vector graphic program. This was a silly assumption. The advertised Sketchup plug-in, which I have downloaded, however, runs out of memory translating the .skp file. I am running Vista with 4 gigs of Ram and lots of graphics board memory. I have ordered the Adobe Technical Communication Suite in the hope that Acrobat 3D might be able to do it, but I would much rather work with the Native FM file and a .u3d file. Any framers out there with any hints or workaround?
As it stands my product is going out on a CD with a bewildering number of install folders to access the various visual facets of the product which has taken many years of preparation. Obviously I would like just one .pdf file. Thanks for a wonderful listserv! Robert Shell
