      Steve- I haven't played around with this but what if you set the origin of both your parent and child component to the original world axis?

      Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I don't see how that will help, as I need the components to rotate about different axes. ❓

        Hello there,

        I'm using a MAC and downloaded proper-animation.rb but everytime I right klick the component and try to "get position" in order to record it for the animation sketch-up crashes.
        Is there anything I can do about that?
        Could anyone help?

        Thanks Roberta

          Hi Roberta,

          You 're not the first to encounter such a problem on MAC. It's due to MAC way of
          managing ruby plugins. Our friend Morisdov is already warned about this. Just have a look in the same folder. N Lindenthal has the same strange behaviour.

            Robert i emailed you PM with the older version of the plugin.
            See if it does not crush on a MAC.

              My Mac has proper animation with proper_animation, if I drag the folder »extensionmanager« out of Tools folder. Then the right mouse click menue on marked objets has the item »Transformation«.
              Now the question would be, whether this same folder »extentionmanager« also disturbs the context menue of SketchUp on Windows PC.

              I can not find a comparable folder on my Windows machine.
              My Plugin itself is properly wrapped in a module and is not using any global variables, so there should be no collision with other plugins.
              Can you zip and email me the contents of that folder ?
              See if its removal has no other negative consequenses.

                Hi Malaise,

                I have rendered your robot. It is a VERY quick an dirty test.
                Will need more time to fix few things in gui 😄

                p.s. I couldn't attach avi directly

                  Tomasz and morisdov,
                  Looks great! Finally we will be able to render simple Sketchup animations with moving objects in Kerkythea. At least I assume that Tomasz's animation was rendered in Kerkythea.

                      Hi Animation's Fellows !

                      I'm still using proper_animation, and drawing quite more complex models used for
                      technical and education purpose. It's one of the easiest way to give explanation
                      about repeating séquences done by machines

                      Only one question : Has someone made what I name a "knee" ?
                      A component is rotating along its axe , a second one
                      may turn around an reference attached to the first component.
                      ( think to a leg with its knee )
                      I can't reach a stable axe for the 2nd group.

                      Thank for any remarks.

                            I'll study your example and try to use Ruby commands

                                My idea would be to make two groups, two axes, and then make one component.

                                        I have modified the SU2KT script. I am distracted by many things at the moment and it is hard for me to focus on programming, but the 'technology' is there. Getting it into your hands is just a matter of time.

                                          @Thomasz, I can't get that animation you posted to play.
                                          I unzipped the .zip file and tried opening the .avi both in windows media player as in VLC player. No success.
