    Animate the model entities on each scene, not just the views.
    Make SketchUp models live by integrating movements to preset positions
    to demonstrate models in real life action from closed and opened doors
    to full progress of a construction site or assembly procedures... etc

    download "proper_animation.zip" file from http://morisdov.googlepages.com

    review attached demo video "proper_animation.wmv"
    I trust you to come up with better animation ideas and uses

      Moris,

      Thank you very much for this plugin. I believe it will find many applications!
      I haven't tested it yet, but what I have seen in the preview looks VERY promising.

      I will have to add it to SU2KT animation export πŸ˜„. Now each frame will have to be exported!

            This is amazing ! Thank you very much for this plugin.
            So this actually is object animation for Sketchup right?
            I must try it. It appears to be quite easy to use.

            Now the cheesy question: Will this work with Vray and Indigo to render animations?
            I know making an object animation manually by tweaking the hiding options does not hold in both render apps.....Would be awesome if it could.

              Thank you. Thank you.

              My question, Morris, is this. Can I save the SKP file and send it to someone so they can see the action? Or is there a way to export the animation?

                Thank you!!! 😍 😍 😍
                It works Great!!! And the plugin supports position and scale transformations!
                I only have problems with some rotations.. look at the attach video. The simple box is rotated 90Β° from the center point but in the animation looks strange.
                Now you can set up to 4 positions. Can you add more?? 4 is not sufficient for this so amazing plugin.

                Thank You!!!

                  Under Way of Working on June 9th I wrote " ... this could mean more Pro versions, more scripts, a new profession of nameset makers, animations in addition to bar charts ..."; so you can imagine I am very happy to see you have come up with this. But unfortuately I cannot open your googlepage from here for some reason; would you be kind enough to upload the zip file or send it to me by PM?

                  Thanks

                          Any chance of either posting a version of the video we can view on OS X? I get a codec error in Quicktime using the WMV plugin. No Xvid for the Mac AFAIK.

                            I am glad you like this, now lets see your creativity results.

                            1. this plugin is written only in ruby, so it should be good for both mac & windows.

                            2. when saving your sketchup model the "positions" are saved in it too, so if you email your model to a friend and he downloads this plugin, he should have the same animation functionality.

                            3. this plugin uses the new SU version 6 "observer" class to hook into the "scenes" change, this "observer" is not called by SketchUp "Export -> Animation" so right now you cant standard export this to an AVI - just see it in sketchup.
                              http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=10926
                              for the mean time hide the axes and use some screen capture utility to export videos.

                            4. later i will add more than 4 positions, start experimenting very slowly.

                            5. Youtube too does not like my wmv9 video - try

                              the resolution is terrrible but better than nothing

                              i trust you come up with better viedos

                                Yes, it would be awesome if that could be supported.
                                Great job on that plugin πŸ‘

                                  Great work. I think everyone's hopes have been elevated.

                                  We need to have a way for all .skps using your scripts to have a link embedded that will enable the anyone opening them to easily downloaded and install the proper script.

                                  I suppose it could something as basic as floating text label with instructions if there was not a way to automate the process.

                                    Looks very promissing, but why does the object you animate "shrink" during the animation..?? πŸ˜•
                                    I.e. a wheel turning on a motorbike will look a bit strange since it constantly change size during the animation... πŸ˜•

                                    Cheers

                                        Yes, Morisdov great plugin but I also wonder why when rotating (p.e. doors) it isn't rotating but a sort of (as Kim stated)'shrinking, turning and expancing' movement.

                                          please download latest version 1.01 - should fix "shrink" on rotation.
