Hello to follow on from the questions, when the model is embeded in a webpage as a 3d model is it possible to install some code that would allow you click on a certain part ie a electric motor and this would link you to a new model on a seperate screen?

I'd like to put a sketchup model on my website but animate bits based on
external data.

One idea is exporting a series of JPEG images (e.g. a 360 degree rotation round
a predefined axis) and then creating something in Flash to allow the user to
move left and right. I'd then have to overlay other information on top (e.g.
I want objects to flash red when there is a problem with them, this would
be based on external data).

What's the best way to achieve this? Currently I only have the free version of sketchup?
Is there a way to export a sequence of JPEGS?

Or is there any other way to interact with the model with regard to making things change
colour based on an external data source?
