ANIMATOR - ASSEMBLING A MODEL
-
Hi everybody!
I'm very new to sketchup and thus also to Sketchucation.
In Animator, I'd like to assemble a model with translations.Outside Animator, I want to see the assembled model.
Inside Animator, the model starts disassembled and finishes assembled.Is there a way to do this without disassembling the model outside Animator ?

If you reverse your animation then starting assembled and finishing exploded your good to go.
Animator has an Explode from Center feature but its no longer working...

...that's not helping but its obviously planned at some point.
This does sound like a brute force scenario whereby you just dive in and get your hands dirty and when you hit a wall come back.
In theory if your pieces are components and your local axes is orientated in such a way then you could do a explode type animation with the minimum amount of translations
In the export options you can export your animation end to start

Not sure this is what you are looking for but here is a video exploding a model with Animator.

Here are some updated files. The SketchUp file is version 2020.
