      It's a great plugin! I'm testing it right now but I'm trying to edit the path (in top or front view in parallel and perspective) and I can't select and move the points.. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm using sketchup 8 on windows 7

      Thank's for your reply dbalex !

      Strange thing!
      Check your keyboard shortcuts if it already occupied by another tool (see above in the header of this post to shortcuts)
      Check if you have groups or layers in your model.
      sometimes when a key is published in conjunction with a group is selected that is problematic.

        Is there a shortcut key for editing the points? because I can update the keyframes by putting the camera in the right spot and update the keyframe, but I can't select them and move them in the orthographic views.. non of the shortcut your plugin uses is used in my shortcuts so I don't think that's the problem, anyway even like this it's a great tool! thanks for the fast reply

          and I have no groups or layers in the scene, just a testscene with a simple cube.

            Sorry for the inconvenience.
            Check if you have the file bezier.rb
            The plugin has been tested on Sketchup v.7 and v.8 (pro or not)

              yes I thought of that also so I installed bezier.rb again with no results.. will try it on my other computer when I have time and will let you know if it works on that one. Thanks!

                Would some other Bezier plugin work with this tool? If not, could this be causing the difficulty?

                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                  In the next major update (1.2) the file "bezier.rb" will no be required.

                      Hi,
                      Thanks for the plugin, it's very useful but i work on Mac, the plugin runs but there are problems:

                      1. On Mac the keys combination (Alt+Q, ...) and the arrow keys don't works so you can't create the Camera Keys.
                      2. The path to camera_path.html file is invalid and the file don't open when you push Enter key.
                        Only the first time that i ran the plugin i could create the camera keys (Ctrl+Q on Mac) but the next times no and when i pushed the Enter key this were the Console message:

                      Console error message

                      I have translating the plugin to spanish language, when i finished it i'll upload it here.

                      Bye and i hope your help for fix these problems.

                        Using keys that might be mapped by others to do stuff [I already use Alt+Q to orient-faces] is a bad idea... use just modifiers like Alt or Cmd or Shift etc that can't be used as shortcuts otherwise...

                              One question - forgive me if I missed it. How do I delete the Camera Key path so I can start from scratch?

                                This looks like exactly what I need to smooth out the motion in my LightUp animations.

                                Thank you! 😛

                                          Very good application.
                                          I have a only one problem: when i do a render animation with vray it starts slowly and i have to wait a long time. 😢
                                          This happens only with a simple cube
                                          Anyone have this problem?

                                            try to reduce the number of frames between of keys.
                                            because vray render each frame interpoled by sketchup between scenes.
