I am still experimenting with this excellent plugin - many thanks.
For animating camera I can only see two real options - Tracking object or rotating around object.
Is it possible, or will be possible, to have camera follow a path? Two options would be useful, either looking ahead, or turning left/right up/down.

In a post from Treadshot A1, Dec 29 2016 earlier version, he mentions camera path option of bezier.
Has that option now gone.
Best wishes

Attempting to find where I should place the updated Fredo Lib plugin, I was unsure where it should go. I then catalogued all the file locations for Fredo Tools (Other plugins are similar I expect).

Is this insane?

Thanks. I see I now have 'Open Plugins Folder' in my Sketchucation menu, so thats good.
I take it the wisdom of ages was all Sketchup versions before 2013, when plugins folders were in programme folder. And simple is single stand alone application; complex is multi-user installation across a network. I am simple myself.
Personally I want C:\ just for operating system, data on a separate partition, and programmes also on a separate partition. When I do back ups or virus check its easy just to do relatively small drives, rather than take all day on one huge drive. That's why I do not want my Sketchup files scattered all over the place, particularly on C:. Call me simple.

But keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

Dear Rich,
I downloaded and installed new version of SUation Tools 2.6 into new version of SU Pro 2014.
Using the Plugin Store from Tools I then installed Find My Plugins Folder v1.0.0 using autoinstall. It put up a message to say it was installed into C:\Users\ etc etc. Although it says it puts new menu item in SUation Tools, this has not worked in my case. There is no extra line, just the 6 regular lines. (I have SU Pro installed on E:) Other plugins I have installed seem to show up ok.

I was looking to reference all plugins from within the SU programme folder, not from C:.

Can you help at all please?

Many thanks,

Barrie Christian

Sorry to use this post, but could not find a more relevant topic.

New install of SU Pro 2014. New install of SketchUcation Tools 2.6 (many thanks) in new Plugins folder in SU programme directory (E:).
Also installed Find My Plugins Folder (autoinstall), and I have copied that file into both locations). But, contrary to what it says on the tin it does not put an extra menu item to open location of plugins folder. Is it something I am doing wrong? This is related problem to me trying to get all plugins into SU programme folder, not on C:\Users etc. I dont want them there.

Does your reply below solve my problem(s)?

Many thanks.

Did you install SketchUp v2014 on the main system-drive [C: ] or is it on another drive-letter ?

There is known bug in v2014 M0 where this configuration of file locations and usage can stop its Ruby2.0 loading properly, and then you can get errors as a partial Ruby can't parse some strings or find vital ruby methods...

Please post the results of the following in the Ruby Console for v2014...

` Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')

Sketchup.find_support_file('Tools')

Sketchup.find_support_file('SketchUp.exe')

$:

$".grep(/gems/)`

And also a file-path for one of the SKPs that is showing this issue...

I don't think it's directly related to our toolset per se, but rather your configuration...
But we need to get to the bottom of this...

Yeah. Though already a minority of the countries, still "the sun never sets over the countries that drive on the left".

And of course the land of the rising sun drives on the left.

JC,
Does THIS help at all?

Very useful indeed.
There must be a variable not shown in settings dialog which controls rotation on a specified axis.
(The default effect is visible in the road signs image).
It would be a great benefit to have that variable available, and a "jitter" control.
But the author has done a fantastic job.
