When moving a 3D model in a published HTML file, text fields, images, and callouts disappear and do not remain visible. The "always visible" option is set, but the problem persists. Users expect these elements to stay visible or reappear once the 3D model is no longer moving.
SolutionThis behavior is due to the limitations of HTML5, where 3D views have precedence over graphical objects such as text fields, images, and callouts. As a result, these elements may be obscured when the 3D model is manipulated. The specific limitations are documented in the Technical Publication help files, which explain that 3D views will always be on top of other graphical objects.
Steps to Address the Issue:
1. Understand the Limitation:
2. Alternative Solutions:
3. Workarounds:
For better results and fewer limitations, consider using the Quadrispace Reader3D for viewing 3D models. This free tool offers a closer representation of the original document than HTML5 or PDF formats.
