3D Without the Glasses:
Adding Dynamic 3D Images to your Technical Publications

Recorded: Tuesday, May 18, 2010

Length: 1.5 hours; 60 min presentation time and 30 min Q&A time.

Fee: FREE

Abstract: Do your customers prefer to learn how to assemble, disassemble, and maintain your hardware products by reading long lists of instructions, or would they prefer to learn by literally taking apart and reassembling a 3D model? If you could quickly and easily take the 3D models already created during your engineering product design process and, with basic training, convert them to both the 2D views you need in the documentation and 3D dynamic graphics, would you be overjoyed?

In this webinar, we’ll explore the benefits you can achieve and the costs you can save by working directly with engineering design content. You learn how you can easily create dynamically generated graphics, 2D illustrations, and additional views. The more and better graphics that result help you reduce word-count and the cost of writing, updating, and translation.

Your 3D models can be directly embedded into your documentation, managed by your CMS, made compliant with the DITA standard, and even automatically updated when the designs change (as they always do)!
