@jaime_s Sorry, but I made the decision early on to not sell any of my models. That would make it seem more like work rather than something I do because I enjoy it.

The developers haven't have made any changes to SketchUp 2021 since late in 2021. The .3ds exporter in SketchUp 2021 wouldn't have been changed, either. You can be certain that the developers won't be looking at the exporter in old, unsupported versions of SketchUp. Maybe there's something in your model that is resulting in the slow down. You could share the .skp file. We could try the export in the current version and see what happens. @onzki said in Export to .3ds takes forever: I’m using 2021 Pro Your profile says you are using SketchUp 2024. Do you get a different export result with that version?

OK, I was able to go back and save the model with everything in the right position to make the animation work correctly. Here is an updated copy of the modelJesus - Animator Animation.skp Now I need for someone to give me advice on how to save/create a camera position so that future developments will allow everything to show up in the right position(s). I know, this is not a complicated model and all of this should be very easy to accomplish. As I said before, this seems very much different than things I have done in the past because of the collective movement of objects. Once I have all of this worked out, I want to be able to assign a nice environment and try using Rayscaper to produce a rendered version of the final product.

@Rich-O-Brien So, the day after tomorrow then? Much appreciated!

Really nice work, Mike. But it does need high-speed hubcaps. And flames. And some big Cadillac fins.

Have you tried scrolling down a bit. [image: 1767063670691-gif-30-12-2025-2-00-29-pm.gif]

@TIG @thomthom The created Ruby script works with practically all objects and components, except for those not converted to SubD and QuadFace. Furthermore, these types of objects do not work even when handled individually with standard scale commands.

I'm not quite sure why this is happening. What should I do?

I have posted a FAQ for licensing questions on my website with the most common questions that I am asked, hopefully this is helpful: https://design.medeek.com/resources/medeek_licensing.html

@Krass Nice, thanks for sharing! Super cool to see this result.

Thanks @krass for putting it in a new topic! That makes it easier for me to keep track, instead of tracking everything in the huge release thread. I typed up a comprehensive guide: https://rayscaper.com/faq/licensing/#how-do-i-release-a-license-seat
