      I already made a script to do just that. Running into problems with that, however.. seems like the scenes aren't being .. calibrated... properly.

          My model doesn't have any animation.. I think my Ruby script probably works better than your "basic" tools. 😄

          Edit: besides which .... "image set"? It doesn't exist. Are you pulling my leg?

            Pulling your leg? Not at all.

            That's what it is called in SU2013. In previous versions you just choose Export>Animation and change the file type to JPG or PNG.

            This isn't about having an animation in your model. It's about exporting the 64 scenes you've got as images and doing them in a batch.

              I see. That's an interesting trick, but it does not allow you to combine layer variations. Feeling yorik1984 needs to read more thoroughly before yelling at people.

                You set up your layer variations in the various scenes.

                  Any scens can make uniq combination of layers. Every layer can be visible or invisible of any scens. Prepare scens before export. Do not reinvent the wheel.
                  Repeat

                    And I repeat, you didn't read the post.
                    8 directions
                    8 rotor rotations
                    64 scenes for all the combinations

                    ..or making a script? Go make your 64 scenes. I'll make the script.

                      your script not work. It took a lot of time with 2.09. I can sutup all scenes for 1 hour.
                      If you need only once do this action. Irrational to write a script.
                      Value for modeling and scene differs considerably. Saving a few percent of the time is not worth what would be a month to write the program.

                        It took me an hour to code, because I haven't coded in Ruby and the Sketchup API for a while. And, actually, I plan to use this sort of script for more than one model. Setting up 64 scenes would probably take me 2 hours, and it is very annoying to be doing the same repetitive work for that long, so it would take even more time. I guess it depends on if it takes you a month or an hour to make that script..

                          If you want to use more then one model - write script best way. I think you have only one model. Thzts why best way is make scenes manualy.
