[Plugin] SketchUp Animation using mover.rb

Jim

year b4 i used this plugin, but it had a different name TRANSFORM.rb

Didier Bur wrote one in 2005 - mover and proper animation use the same technique as Didier.

Has anyone played with this plug-in more? I can set the scenes so that elements move properly between scenes, but when I export as avi nothing moves. Does the plug-in not support exporting, or is there something else I should be doing? Would a different animation plug-in work better?

@ Wyatt
I believe that you must record your screen with another prog during the Mover's animation

This is a know problem with sketchup animation.
All none-sketchup scripts are neglected in the creation of the animation.

Hi all,

I wondered if you could help me solve a strange issue!

I am trying to animate a group of concentric cylinders that scale around their centre point. However, even with the scale definition fix I still get strange results.

If I use scale definition it doesn't change size, it just stays at the new scaled size the entire time. If I don't then it does the move animation, then jumps to the scaled size. There is no animation of the actual scaling.

What am I doing wrong? I looked at doing the make unique feature, but they are always greyed out.

Thanks in advance!

Seems like Proper animation by Morisdov

Seems a little more easy for select a position but you must go to the scene itself !

Else you can use the Set Transition Times by Morisdov with mover.rv

i also noticed unwanted displacements of some components or groups; to avoid that, i group the component that moves strangely, with another one that doesn't.

if the movement comes from a scale, it is not possible, obviously...

anyway... as i use the plugin from time to time, i added 2 features:

packaged as a rbz file, so it is possible to avoid loading it it when you don't need it, through windows>extension> ... untick the box in front of "cmd_mover"
added a line in the right clic menu to save the current position of the selection, so you don't need to open the folding menu above the screen

I hope it will be usefulplugin mover
