Animating a push-pull

[altab]

Hi!

I would like to know if there is any way ( function/ ruby / plugin) that can create an animation for a push pulled box for example , instead of scene

let's say I have a box which is 3m in height and would like to have it in 6m in the final result. I would like to see an animation that reproduce the pushpulling of the 3m diffrence

Hope it's clear.

Yes you can!
It's with section tool that you can make that!
Just take a box against a house!

if you have sketchup pro, you could do it with a dynamic component and animate the on click function..
(click on the box and it will show the extrusion happen as a smooth animation instead of just jumping from one position to the other)

Thanks

Pilou: that's could be a solution but for massing, I would rather prefer a solid box instead of an empty one. ( as it results from the section )

Jeff: I'm not that keen on dynamic componant...and As I'm a sketchup free version user...

I think I should have named this thread deformation animation.

let say changing the position of the object. from a to b and sketchup could autmaticaly create the intermediary position of the object.
a second example would be: I want to deform a cylinder. in whih the upper cirle change in scale and become bigger than the base.

Another thing : with the plugin Mover
(this is Mover 2 : I have made the animation with Mover 0 )

I believe than you can't see the animation if Mover is not installed
