How do you get the color used for faces in a layer when displaying color by layer?

No, RPS 3D PDF doesn't list the property/value pairs from the SU 'Component Options' dialog.

That would be a nice feature to add.

Currently we just list the faces by Material in the adobe reader modell-tree window, not the components. We've discussed grouping the the geometry by Layers, but not by Components.

Actually, an example of an HTML page, containing an embedded PDF containing a U3D view, can be seen at:

We fixed this and posted a new beta version of RPS 3D PDF. The 3D models are also to scale now, so the measurement tool in Acrobat works correctly.

The new beta version, IJ02, can be downloaded from our downloads page:

There aren't any component placing tools in this plugin.

Just use Window/Components/Select/Architecture/DC Doors and Windows to select and place a window on the wall. I select something like "Scalable Double Hung Window".

After you click on the right click edit, Cut Opening in Wall, we look for the glueable edges in the component to get the opening size and then cut the opening in the wall.

After placing a glueable window on the wall, right click on the window and select "Cut Opening in Wall". That seems to be working on our Mac.

We tested this on our Apple and it seems to work.

You can download it here:

and unzip it into the SketchUp Plugins folder to try it.
