I would like to load a small program on a laptop to show a model walkthru with a client.
Is this possible? I just need a viewer that will view BS objects and give me the ability to 3Dorbit.

The new DWF Viewer will recognize 3D, but I don't think (or know for certain) that you'll be able to show a walk-through.

Thanks for the reply.
I forgot I even posted this question.

I have found that the new DWF Composer and reader works very well for sharing files with a client. The walkthrough section was an alternative to a model I could send them to view.
I've also learned that through Building Systems (architectural desktop) you can create video's of walkthroughs. I havn't toyed too much with this but it looks pretty good.

Thanks,

Mitch McComb

If you are a Building Systems customer then you are on the subscription program and have access to the 3D DWF creator plugin. This will allow you to create a DWF file in 3D that your client will be able to rotate, turn around and examine in detail. You may find it easier to do that then exporting your building to Viz Render or another program.

If you just want to show areas of your drawing in a 3D environment, then the new DWF viewer is your answer. Now when you say a "walk through" I think of creating a video in Building Systems and then you can show it on any computer that has a media player. I have done a few videos of "walk through's" with BS, for the purpose of showing what will be built, its not too bad.
