How do I convert a skp file to exe !!
-
Hey ! I wrote a pre thread but I cant see it for some reason ! plz tell me how to convert my "skp" file sketchup7 to "exe" its actually an assignment and I need the doctor see it in exe format ! he would not download skp to see it !
edit: one more thing .. about animation ! I've found that "SU Animate plugin" but evaluate ! whats the exact difference between it and between the full plugin ? and how do I make a box to rotate and keep rotating ?!
-
You cant export an SU animation as a .exe file, although you can export it in a video format (.avi.) To do this, go file->export->animation then use the drop down menu at the bottom of the window to change the file format to .avi.
I'll let someone else explain about SU animate, as i dont use it myself.

thanks man for ur reply but when I make this avi video it does not move ( I mean the camera ! ) I made 6 frames (tabs) and I changed the views in each one ! but nothing happened ! its the same view ! I hope somebody who uses SU Animate help me before the evaluation period of this plugin exceeds .

Could you post the file up by any chance? sounds like something weird might be happening.

And make sure you're using the right scene creation workflow.
Move to the position you want to see.
Add a scence
Move to the next position
Add a scene
repeat as needed.Chris

U mean this works to animate the box ? make it rotate ? by making just scenes ! my purpose is to keep rotating the box then make a video showing that the project is in 3d ( in different views as u told me ).
edit : can I send u the link of the project on your PM ? -
Sure you can send me a link to your project. I'll look at it too.
The thing about SketchUp's animations is that the model itself does not get animated. But you can animate a walkthrough through the model. I'll upload a simple model to show you what I mean. Just click from one tab to the next to see what happens. Then lets sey you wanted to export a video, you would go to File>Export>Animation and you could export an animation video for others to watch to see your model, but as a video.

The eDrawings publisher will let you export a Sketchup file to an exe file.

Yes, but it's PC only (AFAIK) and will instll a viewer as well which many users don't really like.

OK, so I looked at your model now and it is as simple as I explained before. Follow the step I explained and it will work. I can tell you haven't tried it yet.... So here's a video showing how to do it.

When you export the video like I showed, it will create an avi file, which ic a standard video file, that your lecturer can play and see that you did indeed make a 3d box.
