What slider? Perhaps you should attach images and models to help explain your problems, thanks! Chris

No lights in SketchyPhysics. Also no color changing and no fluid effects.

Hey Nagaraju, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Do you have some images that shwo what your thinking of?

SketchUp (Pro) already has a 3ds exporter built in. With the free version, you can have different workarounds like exporting to kmz and then (in a 3rd party app like the free Blender for instance) convert the kimz into something else etc...

If •BTM interpreted it right, then you just have to move the plugin into the plugins folder in sketchup.

You can export scene based animation with File > Export > Animation. Read more about this here: http://download.sketchup.com/sketchuphelp/gsu6_win/Content/K-Input_and_Output/Import_and_Export/IO-AnimExportOptions.htm (note that though it is marked as a [image: welcome-Plus.jpg] "Pro only feature", it is also available in the free version since SU 6) However, since Sketchy Physics doesn't animate objects based on scenes, you won't be able to export any animation from SU. The only way is to use a screen (motion) capture application like Auto Screen Recorder for instance (but of course, there are several other apps) which also has a free version.

have a read of this thread: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10750 Plenty of useful info there.

You can buy it here http://www.suplugins.com/index.php?p=catalog&mode=catalog&page_id=buy

That is actually all i really know at the moment. You can visit: http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/index.html For more help. BTW right now I am planning out an In-Simulation edge editor for Wacov.

Then you need to find a renderer that you like. Many people like Podium, kerkythea, IRendernXt, V-ray, POV-ray, Indigo, and on and on. But SU does not do true lights and lighting effects. It does shadows, but no more. Chris

Something like this? @me said: When you change the Scenes (Stone and Brick), the texture of the walls will also change. Examine the visible/invisible layers (and the groups on them) associated with the scenes. The texture on the walls will change with the scenes. There's no "transition" however. Made simply the same way you generally make "changing" geometry with on/off layers and scenes.

I color everything, bricks, metal, even made the roller shutters (boarding, altered width to 100mm and made the brown much darker). Many Thanks Ashley @gaieus said: Ad far as I know, Sketchy Physics won't create scenes t5hat are needed in SU in order to export animation natively. Try some screen capture software for that - I use AutoScreenRecorder (Free version) for that and am satisfied with the results and quality so far: http://wisdom-soft.com/products/autoscreenrecorder_free.htm As for colours - I guess it's just like with other SU geometry; you can use any materials with the Paint bucket tool to change the colour.
