Paul and List
3DCompress (www.3dcompress.com) allows compression of files and these can be
embedded in MS office products since our viewer is written as ActiveX control.
Please contact me if there is interest.

>> Hello List,
>>
>> There are several excellent free STL file viewers
>> available now. Do any of these allow you to embed 3d data
>> into a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document for internal or
>> external company documentation? Would such a function be useful
>> to people in the rapid prototyping community? A free plugin
>> is required to be installed on the PC used to view the
>> document. The same plugin would allow you to view 3d objects
>> in HTML web pages also.
>>
>> Since STL files can be very large, file compression is a
>> big part of the proposed process. The amount of 3d data
>> packaged in an Ms Office document for example should be
>> a function of the size of the viewing window, not just
>> the complexity of the object. The bottom line is that
>> although STL files can be very large, getting a good
>> 3d display in an otherwise 2d document does not necessarily
>> require huge files.
