Using 'Exploded' View

PDF3D ReportGen and PDF3D.IO development SDK can be used to convert over 90 file formats to 3D PDF. A unique feature PDF3D possesses is the ability to load multiple input files and incorporate sequence animation and scene comparison.

The Exploded option shows the input files separated in space, in a general side-by-side layout. This can be
helpful to compare two different variations of a model. With this feature, no animation is shown. The positions of exploded objects can be specified by offset position, scale and rotation using the Interface Settings Common menu.

The “Layered” option only works for certain types of input files where some internal “layers” are specified.

The “Exploded” option enables changing of placement of each input file, but you have to tell it where to move.

On Input/Output tab select the option check-box for each input file and define interface

Then on the Interface Settings, select each one individually as the active object and enable the “Position” option, and set a local X,Y,Z location offset for that part.

Change to another part and repeat the process with a different X,Y,Z.

Set “Exploded” mode to active
