[CAD ID] How to Create 3D PDF Drawings

Question 

Can I make 3D PDF drawings ?

 

Answer 

CAD INFRA-DESIGN utilizes the 3D PDF creation function to include the 3D model in a PDF file through the general output function.

 

Based on the 2D section created in CAD INFRA-DESIGN, you can combine it with the 3D section, and check the model with the PDF viewer program that is pre-installed on your PC.
