[Plugin] Circle the view around

jeando

Camera Circle is a free plugin to rotate camera around some origin and make a show or generate images.

From the bunch of images you get, you can easily make a movie with any video editing software.

Are the images generated as png? Is it possible to have a transparent background? I would love that.

Sure. Was going to make it. Just testing.

Nice. It is something I was waiting for. Is the plugin also compatible with Sketchup Make?

It's done. Possibility to export images as png or jpg and with transparent background or not.

I must do something wrong. I am not able to have the plugin do something. I open a model, push make show and nothing appears to happen.
As I have the same result on a PC with Sketchup 2014 and a Mac with Sketchup 2015, I suppose there is something I am missing, but I don't have any idea about what it could be.
The console message begins with an error:
on the Mac
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method axes' for #<Sketchup::Model:0x007fcf137ee548>> on the PC Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method axes' for #Sketchup::Model:0x73c5528>

yes that is true. It works only for Sketchup 2016 as the API axes did not exist before that Sketchup version.

Ok, no problem. I'll install Sketchup 2016. I have postponed it because I hate to re-install all the plugins (and finding the updated ones). It gives me a reason to stop procrastinate.
