      You cant export an SU animation as a .exe file, although you can export it in a video format (.avi.) To do this, go file->export->animation then use the drop down menu at the bottom of the window to change the file format to .avi.

      I'll let someone else explain about SU animate, as i dont use it myself.

          Could you post the file up by any chance? sounds like something weird might be happening.

            And make sure you're using the right scene creation workflow.
            Move to the position you want to see.
            Add a scence
            Move to the next position
            Add a scene
            repeat as needed.

                U mean this works to animate the box ? make it rotate ? by making just scenes ! my purpose is to keep rotating the box then make a video showing that the project is in 3d ( in different views as u told me ).
                edit : can I send u the link of the project on your PM ?

                  Sure you can send me a link to your project. I'll look at it too.

                  The thing about SketchUp's animations is that the model itself does not get animated. But you can animate a walkthrough through the model. I'll upload a simple model to show you what I mean. Just click from one tab to the next to see what happens. Then lets sey you wanted to export a video, you would go to File>Export>Animation and you could export an animation video for others to watch to see your model, but as a video.

                    The eDrawings publisher will let you export a Sketchup file to an exe file.

                      Yes, but it's PC only (AFAIK) and will instll a viewer as well which many users don't really like.

                        OK, so I looked at your model now and it is as simple as I explained before. Follow the step I explained and it will work. I can tell you haven't tried it yet.... So here's a video showing how to do it.

                        When you export the video like I showed, it will create an avi file, which ic a standard video file, that your lecturer can play and see that you did indeed make a 3d box.
