SketchUp to PDF: Render Plus Systems now offers an export plugin for Google Sketchup, to distribute interactive 3D models within PDF files. Adobe Reader 7.08 and greater can view -- rollover the model to see the control panel, try toggling rendering styles, lighting -- hit the "Model Tree" icon to toggle parts of the model -- use the "Distance Tool" to measure within the model. More at samples, tutorials. There's a lot of interest in planning & manufacturing now about using interactive 3D within a document package, but Acrobat's 3D abilities are still a surprise to many.

In addition to the modeling program there is a 3D PDF file program and viewer that works great with the SketchUp program. I have just started trying this to distribute the 3D models for input and review from outside partys that do not have the SketchUp program. It seems to work well when set up with a current Acrobat 7.0.8.
