Archicad>3DS w/ texture>PDF

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am wondering how to save a ArchiCAD file to 3DS format with the textures included in the model. The purpose is so that I can convert the 3DS model to a 3D PDF file. Everytime I try a different format I am not able to see the appropriate textures in the 3D PDF file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You need to be in ArchiCAD 3d window and then choose Save as.. to save into a 3d studio file which will give you the option to export the textures as well, also you will have an option save as U3D file to save into 3d PDF.

You can also publish to PDF and embed the previously saved U3D file. See Publishing options for PDF.

Watch out - the saved U3D file can be very large, and the PDF can become unwieldy.
