It's up and running ! Following your reply, I opened the Ruby console (this was new for me :-). At the end of the generation process, the code displayed was : FFmpeg = false. Indeed I had to authorize access to FFmpeg, couldn't do it on the apple preference system, security window and I didn't want to start writing codes, no experience at all. There are a lot of stuff on YT about installing FFmpeg on Mac. I had a go, I downloaded the FFmeg EXE prog. Then I directed Animator to it and using the red FFmpeg button... and finally got the window authorizing the access ! I ran the video generation again and Ruby showed FFmpeg = True ! I still have to press the "interrupt " button at the end to save the video file but all ok. It's strange that using SU "gestionnaire Extension" all looks fine with your files, which are both signed ? Did I miss anything in the installation process ? Thank you Fredo

If the surrounding geometry is such that the text is obscured you can use the native Text Tool to reposition it.

I must not be one of the cool kids…. Suppose I’ll just muddle along with the full version already sitting on the iMac.

@teppi_edmund Can you visit https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php and download license files to your device Open SketchUp Go to Tools > Fredo Collection > Fredo Scale > License... Click Activate and use your Fredo Scale license file Report back result

Its most likely you are rotating about another objects origin point. Hovering an element in the timeline is a good clue

It does, but then I get the error message, see the video......

@fredo6 I'm not sure who's update has resolved this but Vray 7 with the latest hotfix now works alongside the latest LibFredo and Thrupaint 2.8. For some reason Thrupaint had disappeared from my PC when I started it up today after the Xmas break, so installed the latest version today. I don't use LOTT, so I can't give any feedback on that. Thanks for your work

works perfect. Thanks a lot

After installing any updated extensions, libs and the latest SketchUcation toolset, close SketchUp and restart it again to sync everything...

@pilotman1999 Have you clicked the save camera button after "capture current view camera"? This was puzzled me as I try to set up camera in animator first time. You must confirm and save the camera view each time you change the view. Hope I didn't misunderstand your issue.

Hi, It is solved. I think Australia is half day ahead of France so when I put the post first time animator 4.1a is not shown on sketchucation site yet After I watched Melbourne spectacular new year fireworks and back home tried again, the new version showed up. Happy new year everyone!

I finally solved it! It was a dodgy plugin/extension. I don't know which one, but luckily it wasn't one of the ones I use constantly. I probly had 50 old plugins from years ago that I've never used. This only became clear when the Space Mouse in the trial version of SU24 stopped working after I had loaded a few Bundles of Extensions. So I did a clean re-install of SU24 and loaded my necessary plugins one by one. I stopped when I had everything I needed and all was good. Then back to SU19, I used the Extension Manager in SU to uninstall everything except the proven ones in SU24 and bingo, all is as it should be. Note: Rich's suggestion of a 'Vanilla" install, (see above), did not work in my case, though I don't see why it wouldn't. Cheers and Happy New Year to you all.

@Rich-O-Brien Ah thank you
