One more 3D related questoin - support for attaching files to PDF. It seems that instead of embedding 3D annotation into main PDF file sometimes it is better to attach to it a separate file with just an annotation in it and have a picture that will launch that file when clicked on. It is done in LaTeX via attachfile2 package, like as in http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/m117_old.pdf at page 194 Is it posiible to have something like it in ConTeXt?
it's all a matter of taste; you can get the old variant by just making small one page documents and using the \attachment mechanism with the preview as symbol
O! That's the answer I sought. The mechanism is called \attachment and it is in a working state - fine! Any pointers to usage examples? BTW it is not just matter of taste. Many tools produce not just models for 3D PDF (U3D or PRC), but complete PDF documents with additional JavaScript-programmed actions linked to proprietary toolbars etc. If this extended surrounding of the model is to bee preserved attachfile instead of embedfile approach is a must.
