Art, We have been experimenting with the use of 3D objects within FrameMaker 8.0. This has been pretty successful and it will hopefully form a part of an interactive procedural and audit trail publication I am soon to work on.
The 3D objects would be used instead of the many 2D CAD drawings that are currently used. These 2D drawings being created from the original 3D objects. Not being a CAD expert myself it took a while to familiarise myself with the 3D Toolkit but I soon managed to create some interesting results, including some animation in the 3D objects. The results in PDF were good. What I'd like to see in the future is some means of adding controls within FrameMaker that extend the existing hypertext marker functionality. This may be possible with the SP TimeSavers (once they work with FM8) if there is some way of knowing which object in FM to control.
