prompt next time you open the PDF. See also Privileged Locations. Note that the dialog box
does not necessarily pop up when you open a 3D PDF. Sometimes it pops up only when you
click on the 3D content in the PDF. When it pops up is determined by the activation settings
of the 3D content. And the message displayed in the pop-up dialog box varies depending
on your trust settings for Foxit PDF Editor. See also the 3D setting, Security settings and Trust
settings.
Display 3D models
Foxit PDF Editor provides the Model Tree and various navigation tools and options for
you to show or hide parts of a 3D model, turn it around to view it from all orientations,
even look at the inside structure clearly by hiding and turning parts around.
When you open a 3D PDF and enable the 3D model, the 3D toolbar appears above the
upper-left corner of the 3D canvas (an area where the 3D model appears). In the lower-
left corner of the canvas shows the 3D axes (X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis) that indicate the
current orientation of the 3D model in the scene. Note: If the 3D model is not enabled
(or activated) after you open the PDF, only a 2D preview image of the 3D model is displayed
in the canvas.
Tip: For most 3D-related tools and options, you can find them from the context menu after
right-clicking the 3D model.
Show/hide parts of a 3D model
When the 3D model is enabled, click the Model Tree panel in the navigation pane,
where you can view the 3D scene structure and the preset views. Check/uncheck the
appropriate checkbox to show/hide the corresponding part of the 3D content. You can
also click the Toggle Model Tree icon on the 3D toolbar to show or hide the Mode
Tree panel.
The Model Tree panel contains three panes: the Structure pane, the View pane, and
the Object Data pane.
• The Structure pane: the topmost pane in the Model Tree panel. In this pane,
you can view the tree structure of the 3D content and show/hide parts of the
3D content.
• The View pane: the middle pane in the Model Tree panel. It shows a list of
available 3D views associated with the 3D content. You can create and manage
3D views.
• The Object Data pane: The lower pane in the Model Tree panel. It displays
the information such as properties and metadata associated with an
