I think you missed lots of the possibilities. While Voloview may let you
rotate 3d objects, it doesn't let you change any aspects of the 3D model,
its representation, or the position of parts.

You can create the views (sections, transparencies, selected parts),
rotations, animations, and much more with Acrobat 3D. All things that are
very limited or impossible through Voloview for dwgs and dwfs.

Hate to sound like a shrill panderer for Adobe, but simply download the
example PDFs that incorporate Acrobat 3D and try to tell me there's no
Techwriting tie-in or that any other tool available is as powerful.
