      OK...
      That's because I only showed how to correct the start frame...
      To change the rest of the frames there's more stuff to change...
      This is a dirty hack leaving lots of things making arrays etc that are then not used!
      Change line #634 to read something like
      pt=Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.eye;up=Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.up;tr=Geom::Transformation.rotation(ORIGIN,up,360.degrees/numseg);pnts=[pt];numseg-1.times{pnts<<pt.transform!(tr);};return pnts
      [NB: This is untested]...
      The whole thing could be rewritten a lot simpler to allow the user to determine the extents of the view etc... My nudgeOrbit.rb could be the basis of this as that simply rotates the camera around the target by given angular increments... You then combine that camera with exporting the image...

        Anyone still interested in this?

        low res gif ...NEED to Open in new tab, not continuous on Safari...
        I've been hacking the code for use on mac and worked out the bits needed to change the default zooming

        the gif is b+w and jumpy [down-sized for upload to the forum], but shows the base disc is filling the frame.

        The web animation is smooth and full color, but we can't post those here...
        I'll put some test up elsewhere if anyone wants.

        I need to figure out a couple more things but those bits should work on PC's, if anyones interested.

          That .gif animates once then stops. Can you upload one that runs 'forever'?

          It is of interest though πŸ‘

              4mb.... i think?

              I use PS for animated gif so i know it gives good control over file sizes. The thing with your gif is that members may miss the animation element if they read later/earlier posts. Still pretty neat output though.

                you can get them straight out of SU, but the settings are a bit of a learning curve.... will repost when I work it out.

                    test....no.11
                    convert -set -delay 400 -colorspace rgb -ordered-dither o8x8,8,8,4 -dispose 1 -depth 8 -loop 0 -scale 100% *.jpg macHack14.gif

                    very grainy as big gif, but getting better

                    manually reordered the sequence, runs fine from file,

                    point is do you want to 'fix' the PC version... to not zoom out.

                      i was trying to upload, others and forgot i was in edit mode, not new...

                      the limit is 2MB, can I get a raise, it's so hard to meet this one 1.6MB but half size.

                      best compromise...
