#### Edit #### The Edit feature makes it possible to: * Modify the content of the 3D annotation: * visibility of parts, * position of parts. * Edit the existing Tetra4D Enrich widgets (Table, Carousel of views, Search, Language selector) * Edit the existing Tetra4D actions. Edit 3D ======= This section shows a detailed explanation about the possible modifications of the 3D annotation. 1. Within the Tetra4D Enrich toolbar, choose Edit 3D. 2. | In the Edit 3D panel, check the “Multiple selection” mark to toggle the parts selection mode between the standard Adobe Acrobat one and the Tetra4D Enrich “multiple selection” mode. | Note: Refer to “Edit 3D: Selection modes” to have detailed explanations about the selection feature provided by Edit 3D. 3. Use the selection features to control or modify the current selection. 4. | Change the visibility of parts with the Visibility check mark and with the Invert visible parts icon. | Note: Refer to “Edit 3D: Control of part visibility” to have detailed explanations about the visibility status check behavior and the Invert visible parts feature. 5. | Change the rendering mode or the selected parts with the Render mode drop-down list, and change the transparency settings of the selected parts using the Transparency slider. | Note: Refer to “Edit 3D: Modification of parts appearances ” to have detailed explanations about the Appearances feature. 6. | Click the icon “Activate transform mode” to enable the transform feature, and use the handler to move the selected parts. | Note: Refer to “Edit 3D: Transform feature” to have detailed explanations about the transform feature. 7. | Click the save Camera view icon to create a local camera and activate any existing camera using the list of cameras. | Note: Refer to “Edit 3D: Camera feature” to have detailed explanations about the Camera feature. 8. Click on the green check to accept the modification and close the function. Edit 3D: Selection modes ------------------------ The Edit 3D feature provides the ability to select several parts at the same time to ease and shorten the process of creating views when the visibility and/or the positions of parts must be changed. .. note:: The selection mode of Adobe Acrobat makes it possible to select a single part or a group of parts if they all belong to the same hierarchical level of an assembly, but doesn’t provide the ability to select simultaneously any parts from one assembly. 1. Check the Multiple selection mark to enable the multiple selection mode 2. | Select in the 3D annotation the part to be added to the selection | Note: The selected parts are highlighted in blue. 3. | Add a part to the selection set by selecting it in the 3D annotation | Note: It is not required to press the CTRL Key to add a part to the selection. 4. Click again an already selected part to unselect it 5. | Select one the available feature (Visibility status or Transform), or | Note: See below for details about selection features. 6. Select one the Selection option to modify the selection set, or 7. Click into the 3D annotation to unselect all the parts .. note:: When working with the Edit 3D feature, it is recommended not to select parts in the data tree because the multiple selection mechanism is designed for 3D selection of parts, and because it overrides the Adobe Acrobat standard selection feature (even when the multiple selection is not active). .. note:: It is possible to switch between the standard Adobe Acrobat selection mode and the multiple selection mode during one selection sequence. Selection mode subpanel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: /_static/images/Tetra4D_ENRICH_2025_Help_ENU/page78_img1.png :align: center Selection area if the Edit 3D panel * **Multiple selection:** Activates the multiple selection mode if checked. * **Select all including invisible:** Selects all the parts from the 3D annotation, independently of their visibility status. * **Select all visible:** Selects all the visible parts from the 3D annotation. * **Invert visible selection:** Toggle the current selection considering only the visible parts. * **X selected parts:** Shows the number of selected parts.

The Invert visible parts feature toggles the visibility status of all the parts. It is meant to be used in combination with the selection feature of the Edit 3D function. 1. Select a part (or several parts) in the 3D annotation 2. Optionally use the Selection options to modify the selection set 3. | Click the Visibility mark to change the visibility status of the selected parts | Note: the parts don’t remain selected after being hidden. 4. Click the Invert visible parts to toggle the visualization between hidden and visible parts .. note:: Once defined, the visibility of the parts can be saved as Acrobat views. It is mandatory to use the “Create view” feature to create an Acrobat view. The view can be created without closing the Edit 3D feature. .. figure:: /_static/images/Tetra4D_ENRICH_2025_Help_ENU/page79_img1.png :align: center Create view icon in the data tree Visibility subpanel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: /_static/images/Tetra4D_ENRICH_2025_Help_ENU/page80_img1.png :align: center Visibility area if the Edit 3D panel Example ~~~~~~~ .. figure:: /_static/images/Tetra4D_ENRICH_2025_Help_ENU/page80_img6.png :align: center :width: 50% Edit 3D: Modification of parts appearances ------------------------------------------ The modification of parts appearances feature makes it possible to change the rendering mode and the transparency of the selected parts. 1. Select a part (or several parts) in the 3D annotation 2. Select a rendering mode in the Render mode drop-down list 3. Define a different transparency using the transparency slider .. note:: The modified positions of parts can be saved as Acrobat views.

A camera defines the characteristic of the view orientation (camera position, target, and zoom value). Cameras are particularly useful during the creation of views that show for example different parts, different positions of the parts, exploded views, if these views must have the same orientation. 1. Use the 3D controls features to define the view orientation 2. Click the Save camera view icon to save create a camera 3. To activate a camera, click on its name 4. To rename the camera, double-click its name and type in the new name 5. To delete a camera, click the Delete icon aside the camera name 6. To reorder the cameras, select one and make a drag and drop **Remark:** The cameras defined using the Edit 3D Camera feature can be accessed only in the context of the Edit 3D feature. These cameras are saved in the PDF document. Edit 3D: Transform feature -------------------------- The Edit 3D feature provides the ability to modify the positions of the parts. The modification (translation) is manually defined by dragging a handler in the 3D annotation. This feature makes it possible to enhance the understanding of assemblies and to create exploded views when required. 1. Check the “Activate transform mode” mark 2. | Select a part (or several parts) in the 3D annotation | Note: The transform feature supports the “multiple selection” mode as well as the standard Acrobat one. The visibility status of the selected parts can be changed after a displacement. 3. Click the arrow of the handler corresponding to the displacement direction and 4. Move the handler while keeping the mouse button pressed to move the selected parts 5. Use the three values (Axis 1, Axis 2, Axis 3) as indications of the current displacement 6. Click one or several times on “Change handler size” to temporarily resize the handler if required 7. Selected an already displaced part and click “Reset initial position” to position back the part to its initial position .. note:: The handler is dimensioned based on the size of the global bounding box calculated with all the parts, independently of their visibility status. **Remark:** The modified positions of parts can be saved as Acrobat views. It is mandatory to use the “Create view” feature to create an Acrobat view. The view can be created: * without unselecting the parts (When the view is created, the handler will be automatically excluded and the selected part will also be temporarily displayed as unselected) * without closing the Edit 3D feature. .. figure:: /_static/images/Tetra4D_ENRICH_2025_Help_ENU/page82_img1.png :align: center Create view icon in the data tree Transform subpanel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. figure:: /_static/images/Tetra4D_ENRICH_2025_Help_ENU/page83_img1.png :align: center Transform area if the Edit 3D panel * **Activate transform mode:** Enables the transform feature. * **Reset initial position of selected parts:** Sets the selected parts back to their initial positions. * **Change handler size:** Changes the size of the handler (3 values). * **Displacement:** Shows the current displacement value.
