Component animation
-
Hello!
Is there a way to animate components in google sketchup 7?
In my model I've got 4 components and 3 of them fit in 3 special slots. I want each of those to move in this slot by an animation. Getting some help/advice would be very nice. -
Hi Starney,
There is a plugin called "Sketchy Physics" which you can use to animate your models wonderfully. We even have a subforum for it that you can access from the main forum index > Extensions & Applications Discussions > SketchyPhysics.
See this perfect animation of the tank's wheels and tracks made with this plugin!

You can also animate components using Dynamic Components [DCs] [you can use them in any version but you can only make them in Pro] - there is a sub-forum on this too. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewforum.php?f=289

Or if you perfer a more simpler way, try Proper Animation or Mover, both are the same but try both. If you want more complex animation you should check out animation software.
