      ck a "base point" for a group or component about which the animation should happen (a door swinging on a hinge, etc.) It does a pretty good job, so far but it's a little quirky... the door sort of slides a bit into the wall, just like the prob. with Proper_Animation.rb ... but this one doesn't seem to do as bad a job with rotating door-type swings.

      I noticed if the base point is the Origin of the Group/Component the rotation is good. It's when you rotate around another corner that the object moves off the axis of rotation.

        Thanks Jim,
        That's a good place to start πŸ˜‰ (either animating something, or trying to code a fix for it.)

          Have you made an exportation animation "Avi" with Mover?
          Not by the Twilight Render (this is working fine) πŸ˜‰, but from directly Sketchup Export ? (with no render)

                    Didier Bur wrote one in 2005 - mover and proper animation use the same technique as Didier.

                        Has anyone played with this plug-in more? I can set the scenes so that elements move properly between scenes, but when I export as avi nothing moves. Does the plug-in not support exporting, or is there something else I should be doing? Would a different animation plug-in work better?

                          I believe that you must record your screen with another prog during the Mover's animation πŸ˜‰

                            This is a know problem with sketchup animation.
                            All none-sketchup scripts are neglected in the creation of the animation.

                              Hi all,

                              I wondered if you could help me solve a strange issue!

                              I am trying to animate a group of concentric cylinders that scale around their centre point. However, even with the scale definition fix I still get strange results.

                              If I use scale definition it doesn't change size, it just stays at the new scaled size the entire time. If I don't then it does the move animation, then jumps to the scaled size. There is no animation of the actual scaling.

                              What am I doing wrong? I looked at doing the make unique feature, but they are always greyed out.

                              Thanks in advance!

                                Seems like Proper animation by Morisdov πŸ˜‰

                                Seems a little more easy for select a position but you must go to the scene itself ! β˜€

                                Else you can use the Set Transition Times by Morisdov with mover.rv πŸ˜‰

                                    i also noticed unwanted displacements of some components or groups; to avoid that, i group the component that moves strangely, with another one that doesn't.

                                    if the movement comes from a scale, it is not possible, obviously...

                                    anyway... as i use the plugin from time to time, i added 2 features:

                                    packaged as a rbz file, so it is possible to avoid loading it it when you don't need it, through windows>extension> ... untick the box in front of "cmd_mover"
                                    added a line in the right clic menu to save the current position of the selection, so you don't need to open the folding menu above the screen

                                    I hope it will be usefulplugin mover
