thanks TIG, I'll try those techniques.
sorry about the double somehow I got some text pasted into a code box and was trying to correct it so it would not be confusing.

Hello,

I am trained as an architect and would like to know if anyone knows how/where a plugin for crossfading between saved scenes? I am showing a progression of building phases with a fixed camera location and a smooth appearing phase(next scene) would be much nicer than it just popping up.
I am new to this forum but have used sketchup from it's earliest release. this is a great forum and it has helped me out many times without my interaction, but I cannot find if there is a plugin that would "crossfade" between saved scene tabs. I am showing phases of construction to a client and it would be much easier if I could do this in SKP instead of importing images to powerpoint. thanks in advance...
