Sorry, but belated best wishes anyway.

Organizer script from Smustard can help you sort the scripts. IIRC there are one or two other scripts that does more-or-less the same thing, but I don't remember what they are called. I'm sure a look-see in the Ruby Script Index could help out as scripts are usually called something logical and easily recognisable if you know what function (-s) you require.

Might this resource be something that would satisfy your BIM needs? IFC2SKP

I haven't personally used it, but from the website description, it sounds like it might be of use to you.

Hola and bienvenidos!

Shadows would be "possible" in RPS 3D PDF - but very difficult for us to implement.

U3D, (the underlying format), itself, does not do shadows (as far as we know). If anyone has seen other 3D PDF products which do shadows, let us know.

So, to do shadows, we would have to places textures on each shadowed face which already had the shadows on them. This is "possible", but very difficult, and it would probably create a PDF file which was too large to use properly.

We have seen some approaches which use .AVI movies, rather than 3D PDF to create presentations with shadows. SketchUp can do this with sun shadows already, or you can use IRender to create movies with reflections and shadows from point lights as well as the sun.
