How does this work?
Anyone having an account at one of the indicated social networking sites who has at least 50 friends may add/edit the documentation of this project. If you don't have an account at one of these services; please create one, make enough friends and come back here to connect. If you had already logged into your network, then you will be directly connected once you click on the appropriate link. Else, you will be asked to first login into your network using a pop-up window. The login will only happen through your social networking site. For e.g. If you were connecting to Facebook, the address bar of the pop-up window will display Facebook's address.
Note: You may be asked some questions when you login for the first time. You would also be required to agree to the terms and conditions of the service provider.
Additionally, you may see some reference to Gigya; the aggregating service that gives us this functionality.
Please note that this login will NOT give you an automatic registration of our software and other services.
Please read our FAQ
When you connect the first time, please make sure that you allow the aggregating service, Gigya, to look at your profile and give it all the permissions it requests. Don't worry about privacy. We do not store any information that you cannot control. We do not store your social network account usernames and/or passwords on our site. Kindly adhere to our simple legal conditions
Embedding into PDF
- Install meshlab from here
- Install TexNic Center from here
- Install MikTex from here
- Load a TAD file into TAD Designer Lite and export it as an OBJ file
- Load the OBJ file into Meshlab
- Save the file as a U3D file using Meshlab. Meshlab will also create a wrapper .tex file. You may get some warnings about some textures missing and maybe some other warnings too. The data should still be usable.
- You need a file called movie15.sty (which is a library file for latex) You can use the one that is available in this zip file. More info is available here
- Keep the .tex file, the U3D file and the above file called movie15.sty in one folder
- Open TexNic Center and drag and drop the above .tex file into it. If you know how to edit .tex files, you can embellish it with your own content. Study the .tex file that was present in Laurana_tex.zip to get a clue
- Inside TexNic Center, go to Build->Current File->Build and View (Or press Ctrl-Shift-F5) and your 3D PDF will be prepared. It will open in the default PDF viewer installed on your computer. If that is Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7.0 or greater, then you will see the 3D inside it
