View Full Version : Layer visability by page?

Great product so far, one thing I noticed right away though:

I have a Sketchup file with several pages defined. In each page, some subset of the layers are turned on or off, depending on which feature of the model I'm trying to bring focus on.

When I use RPS 3D PDF, the layer visability information is not included. I realize the functionality of "Views" in the 3D PDF applet is meant to handle camera views and not other display parameters. However, the ability to change layer visability in Sketchup Pages enables very effective presentations and I hope this will be possible in future versions of RPS 3D PDF.

One other note after my first use:
Animation does not seem to work. I can switch between the camera views defined in Sketchup pages, but there is no automatic transition. (play and pause buttons DO toggle, though)

Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to pass them on.

1. We will need to keep the layers separately in the U3D file. Then we can let the user turn the layers on and off.

2. We do not know whether the Adobe view selector can turn the layers on and off.

3. We do not know whether Adobe 3D can do animations between views.

We will be adding more and more of these features based upon user requests...
