In this version we these features requested by users:

Added the ability to select a different Model Image to show when the the U3D View is loading, or hidden (disabled). Selecting None will show the version warning that we used to show, before we started using the SketchUp image as the image behind the U3D view. This choice was added to the Options Images tab.
Added the ability toggle between the U3D View and the Model Image to the Options Layout tab.

I pulled this new version. It seems that textured materials were no loner working.

I repost a version with the edge lines and page size fixes as soon as possible.

In this version we:

Remove the Renewal Reminder, since it was appearing every time that RpTools was loaded, even if the user had checked "Do not show this reminder again".
Allow the background of the 3D model to be transparent, so that a background image, or a frame, can be shown behind the rotating image.
Fixed the logo to recognize a transparent PNG image.

In this version we:

Changed the preview of the PDF file on the PDF dialog to be more representative of the final page.
We now list the meshes by Layer in the Model Tree by default, instead of just listing them by Material name.
Add a new Buttons tab, to allow you to place Buttons on the page to display specified scenes and their layer configurations, or contain a link to a web page, like a "Purchase" button. The scene buttons will allow you to show different layers in different views, depending on the layer settings by scene in SketchUp.
Fixed a regression in the Set Initial Zoom Factor option on the Properties tab.
