      SjS66, I would recommend that you have 3 clips. One to rotate the truck bed, a second to rotate the hydraulic ram, and the third to expand the hydraulic ram. Now make sure that all three of them have the same starting time in the timeline which can be accomplished by dragging each of the clips to be parallel to each other in the time line. I would also recommend that each of the clips have the same duration.

      Hope this helps. Perhaps you could share a screen capture of your Animator dialog/timeline for your animation.

        I really like these types of Video Animation Services because I am also doing this type of work just to attract the audience to my site which is a great technique too many animators are engaged to improve it but I don't need to do it because I am an expert.

          Is there an option for animation on a track?
          Does that mean that the camera travels on a certain line and passes between all the rooms?

            Camera Along Track is not implemented yet.

              Any idea when it's going to be?

                If you create a object to follow a path then use Camera Tracking Object and position your view you get that 'tour' effect

                Just hide the tracking object for the export.

                    I use the Temp exit feature in Animator to then use the native Position Camera tool.

                    Then return to the Animator timeline add a New Camera and set it with this...

                    It's a bit funky to do but it does work

                      PDF ANIMATOR TUTORIAL
                      . After discussing it with Fredo6, I'm now publishing it in this post, as it seems the most fitting choice.

                      Here's the link to the explanatory video and tutorial (in the video's description) in their Spanish version, published in my video youtube channel.

                      I'm currently working on the English version. This order is necessary due to layout considerations, as English tends to use fewer words. I hope it aids other designers in creating excellent animations with this superb plugin. I trust it will be helpful to you and that you'll share it with fellow users.

                      TUTORIAL de ANIMATOR EN PDF

                      ESPAÑOL:Finalmente he terminado el Tutorial de Animator y el video de explicacion y, tras consultarlo con Fredo6, procedo a publicarlo en este post, porque me parece el mas adecuado.

                      Este es el enlace al video explicativo y al tutorial (en la descripcion del video) en su version en Español publicado en mi canal de Youtube.
                      https://youtu.be/Ne5k4S_DZWw

                      Estoy preparando la version en ingles. Debe hacerse en este orden debido a temas de maquetación, puesto que en ingles se usan menos palabras. Espero que ayude a otros diseñadores a hacer buenas animaciones con este magnifico plugin. Espero que os sea util y que lo difundais a otros usuarios

                        HERE THE ENGLISH VERSION OF THE PDF TUTORIAL OF ANIMATOR

                        I'm getting ready for the English version.

                        ENGLISH:At last, I'm pleased to introduce the tutorial and video for the ANIMATOR Plugin, designed for use with Sketchup, enabling the creation of impressive animations. It's taken quite a few hours of work, though the tutorial is intended as a basic introduction. The link to the tutorial can be found below, offering a 54-page PDF outlining the core features of ANIMATOR, alongside a few examples of more intricate animations. There's a chance it might contain a few oversights, for which I apologise. Despite being in beta for a while, the plugin remains a highly valuable tool for animating Sketchup projects. The animations boast impressive resolution, with nearly all film parameters under control. I hope this aids you in your animation pursuits and I encourage you to share the guide, assisting fellow users keen on animation. Thank you.

                            Bonjour Fredo,
                            Merci pour ce super plugin. J'ai un problème lorsque je veux faire un rendu Vray sur le cloud avec Animator. Animator crée un fichier d'export .vrscene que j'uploade sur Chaos Cloud. Mais à chaque fois l'export fait disparaitre le relief des textures (le bump).
                            Dans mon rendu il y a un plan d'eau avec un bump, et sur le rendu le relief de l'eau disparait, il n'y a plus qu'un miroir plat qui reflete le ciel.
                            Merci beaucoup
