fwiw, i'm getting a consistent bug splat with OS X.

all seems to go well until i click 'start' then splat.. everytime.

There are mistakes, I'll work on them.

Use the button "Undo" and not "Pause"

is it possible to "animate" something like a drawer comes out of a cabinet or a door opens?

You can open the box, (like open, click on the "Pause") then close the box, click on the "Start" as it will click on the "Pause"

Thank you for your work
When the plugin running I used the orbit tool of the Skethup
Then it stopped running
Why?

i'm not sure if that was a reply to me or not but undo and pause make no difference whatsoever..

to rephrase my previous post-- this plugin does not work on macs

So it should be.
You can not work in SketchUp two instruments simultaneously

Is this plug in still supported in sketchup 8? I don't see any recent posts and I'm considering purchasing it.

Thanks

In the above post Sahi says he updated the plugin. That was in November when SU 8 had been out for 2 months already.

I just purchased it and it is very easy to use to create an animated rotation. Thank you. I can see where you can easily create an animated gif but I'm a little confused about creating an animated movie either by exporting as an avi (which I'm having problems with anyway) or exporting the rotation animation as part of a more involved animation which is being exported as still frames, to be converted after . This is the way I've been creating animations using "Proper Animation" Can someone clarify how to do this for me please. Thanks

On a separate question: I noticed in the instruction video in the beginning of this post that when Create Image is first opened, points become visible on the rectangular blocks from which the animation path is drawn. What are these points and how do I place them on the group/component?

Thanks
