@fredo6 I installed the recent second version of 1.5b. When I quit SketchUp on my Mac, a whole flock of messages appear in the Ruby Console. Unfortunately, they flash past so quickly that it is not possible to read them, but the little I am able to spot seems to say they are coming from either libFredo6 or FredoSection. Are these (could they be) logged in a file somewhere so that they can be examined?

@rich-o-brien Thanks for the upvote Rich. Updated on 02/03/2026 My whole purpose here was to demonstrate that you can have multiple scenes with animations and information that can be displayed Animator. The one I displayed is not what I want as a final product was just something to show how you can use the features of Animator (like introduction, animation(s), and conclusion) without having to have an external video editor. Throughout this exercise I think I have learned a lot about Animator like: How to combine items to create a “clip” How to “explode” a clip to edit items within the clip How to create and edit Layer visibility controls. As an example this can be used to I used this in the “Introduction” to control the display of line text one line at a time. How to create/capture and edit (at least to some level) camera settings/positions. I also figured how to take advantage of camera feature, along with the layer visibility controls, to “somewhat” control the transition between scenes. I think I also learned some things about using the movement tools. Things I need to learn more about (IMO): How to better control the transition from one scene or clip to another one. I think there are options for this but I do not know how/have not figured out. I would like to “fade” between them. I have not experimented with the “translation” tool/feature I would like to be able to use something like section cuts to control the exposure of items or text. I hope all of this makes sense. The more I learn about Animator the better I like it and would like to help promote it’s use.

again a great work! since I've "known" you, I can only see the trams at home (your Darmstadt work above) in a SketchUp modelling process!!!

Hi Fredo, per your request here is the post about the conflict I was having between D5 Renderer and LordOfTheToolbars. Error: Is a directory @ rb_sysopen - .../plugins/d5_converter The Cause: LordOfTheToolbars was scanning all plugins to build its toolbar menu. When it encountered the d5_converter folder, it tried to open it as a file to read/copy it, but it's a directory, not a file. This happened in the ghost_command_register function. The Analysis: The D5 Converter structure is standard (a .rb loader file + a subfolder with extension code) Nothing weird about D5's structure LordOfTheToolbars wasn't properly checking if something is a directory before trying to open/copy it Summary: The extension causing the conflict is LordOfTheToolbars. It's failing when scanning the plugins folder because it tries to open the d5_converter directory as if it were a file (using rb_sysopen), triggering the "Is a directory" error. The fix would be adding a directory check before attempting to open/copy files in the ghost_command_register function.

You can do that by making a series of scene-tabs that use the same camera etc, but have a different time set. Then go through each tab in turn and make its shadow-set...

Hi guys, -funny part is I have an identical machine at the office and it works fine ; ) However I have more issues with my original laptop, - something with the computer cannot find the GPU hardware anymore (Geforce RTX4090) so I have to repair it. I will look into it later when this is done. Thank you so far.

@FlorinAp Hi, Sorry there was a little feature missing: when you don't group the BB, the tag you choose was not applied. This one is correct: core.rb Regards

Looke very Art Deco and right out of the movie "metropolis" very nice work

Pourquoi la rotation d'un segment qui n'est pas sur un bon axe de pivot embarque les autres faces / arêtes ? C'est parce que SketchUp est un modeleur "Box Modeling", tout est connecté, liaisonné, et non redessiné à la volée! Cela entraine donc la formation de surfaces dite "gauches" (non planaires) et comme il n'y a pas de subdivision entre ces nouvelles positions de segments cela fait un imbroglio terrible! Pour éviter cela il faudra utiliser des plugins dédiés et en subdivisant son volume! En l'occurrence FredoScale Là toutes les torsions, rotations etc seront possibles!

Terribly sad situation for this boy and his mates. We had 4 shark attacks in 3 days in Australia recently... never nice to hear but still hard to stay out of the surf.

All sorted, my license just needed to be undated with Trimble.. I'm away. Thanks Dave.

Thank you so much for the update to LibFredo6 v15.8d. I was about to give up but after updating to the LibFredo6 v15.8d I was able to generate the video. In fact, I was also able to create a 2nd version of the model with everything done in clips. Again So, here are some videos I was able to create with the 2 versions of the file (one without clips and the other with clips). Without clips: 3 Scene Animator.mp4 [image: 1769991612282-model-animation.gif] With Clips 3 Scene Animation With Clips.mp4 [image: 1769991865261-3-scene-animation-with-clips.gif] I hope this shows that you can have multiple animated scenes in a SU model and use Animator to "show them off".

NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v15.8d - 01 Feb 26 LibFredo6 15.8d is a maintenance release. It includes changes related to: Bug Fixing for Animator and other plugins Requirements: SU2017 and above See plugin home page of LibFredo6 for Download of LibFredo6. Main Post of the LibFredo6 thread
