In the context of the 3D scene, run the javascript command

runtime.disableTool("Measure");


Obviously, anyone with Javascript turned off can't be restricted, as there's no way to change the default condition of the tools. People with Acrobat can bypass your script by running the enableTool() command in the console window if they really wanted to. Adobe assume that people should be able to measure things if they want to - that's one of the core concepts behind sharing the 3D model in a PDF instead of sending them a video clip.

Hello,

You can also make a 'secured' PDF with password encryption.

Open your 3D pdf then go to 'Advanced' menu 'security'
then select 2_password encrypt

in the 'permission' field

check on 'restrict editing and printing of the document (...)'

Enter your password
then

print field : choose if you want to allow printing or not (none)

Change allowed field : select none

click Ok , then re-enter your password

Save your 3D PDF

then close Acobat 3D - Reopen your 3D pdf file and the measurement tool in no more available.

This is not panacea but can fulfill your querie.
