Apart from the Acrobat Reader DC, is there any viewer for viewing 3D PDF , generated by Altium ?
I am getting very slow performance by Acrobat. Sometimes the screen fridges while rotating the 3D board.

I tried Foxit reader with the plugin as well. It does nothing and only show a white screen...

It should be on by default, but check hardware render is enabled, edit->pref->3D&Multimedia->Preferred Render
Also turn off double-sided rendering if its on

All, sorry if I'm a bit late in joining this thread, but I did want to go ahead and let you all know that you can now also use the online viewer that we've just released. All you have to do is drag and drop your individual or project files into the viewer and you can visualize your designs, no login or download required. This includes viewing in 3D and it will also link your library to Octopart for getting a sense of part lead time, cost, and availability across multiple vendors. It's pretty slick. Please give it a go
