Wow so this has being an ongoing topic for some time now, this cant be, why doesnt google do something about this, theres so much more that can be done with sketchup if this feature existed, i dont think google relise how important this is to so many others out there, they should addreas this issue, i know there are other programs out there designed to do these animations like Blender, 3DMAX, but i have created models in sketchup and i would like to keep using sketchup for my creations instead of learning to use another outside program to do so
