Ok, I fixed it and did what I wanted to do (more or less), thanks again.

Thank you, I still can't recreate the same objects having same values.
ad 1: error in

=-Group!switch*90

ad 2: error in

=choose(Group!switch,180,180-15*Group!counter,30,30+15*Group!counter)

Also, one more animation:
4. 2 subgroups

• first click [right]: bigger subgroup rotates holding to smaller one, whole group moves to stick with wall object (independent object)
• second click [left]: goes back to 90 rotation and sticks to the wall

Thanks for these models, I've tried to figure it out and implement it to my idea, but still I don't get it. Can you just make that for me?:

1. 3 subgroups with different sizes, same axis

• first click: red, blue rotates by 45, 90, green no change
• second click: going back to start positions (0, 0)

2. 2 subgroups with different sizes, same axis

• first click: red changes its size (2)
• second click: whole group rotates by 90 (3)
• third click: red gets original size (4)
• fourth click: back to start/rotation -90 (1)

3. 2 subgroups with different sizes, same axis

• first click: red changes its size (2)
• second click: red changes its size (3)
• third click: back to start/red changes its size (1)

When making Dynamic Components those functions can be used.
I mean that those functions can be used also for pure groups (without components).
Anyway, I want for example:

1. one click on the object (left) causes rotation of each subgroup (right)
   

2. first click on the object causes rotation of the object on one axis, second click causes rotation on the second axis, third click causes scaling

Is this possible to do in SU without plugins?

I mean that the same functions can be used for components and groups.

I didn't update my profile. I use Pro version but from what I know dynamic components are not necessary for functions and animations. They work also only with groups.

Can this be done only with functions?

Too complicated for me.

Is it possible to run multiple functions with multiple groups?
For example, I want to create one main group containing 3 objects/groups, each subgroup/object should rotate in different position, but they all should run simultaneously on single main group click.
Is this possible?

From what I know in Win 7 there are 3 types of user account: guests, standard, administrator.
I am a single administrator user belonging to Administrator group and I think I have admin powers and run the installer with Run as Administrator.
And it doesn't matter because in SU there are still some problems with shortcuts behavior.

Yes, I run the installer with "Run as administrator" logged as admin. I can't run the installer as guest with "Run as administrator" because of some error about no privileges.
Other thing I noticed is when I change some shortcuts, save and export it as Preferences.dat they're not included in this file. They work only for current session but not after restart and are not saved to dat file.
Changing of some of the shortcuts works (and are saved to dat file) and some aren't.

Btw, is it normal, that, for example some selection shortcuts (those with "select*" in the name) doesn't appear in shortcuts list before some surface selection? Very strange behavior.

I reinstalled the program (Repair) and cleaned the registry and the problem remains.
Can you change for example Edit/Undo shortcut in your SU? There's more shortcuts that can't be changed. And it's in the newest version.

I'm sure they're not in use. Sketchup doesn't remember some of my shortcut settings.
For example Edit/Undo = Alt+Backspace and Ctrl+Z, I remove Alt+Backspace and save, then restart the program and Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Z are back again.

I don't know why but I can't assign any other shortcut to "Next\Previous scene" than PageUp/PageDown.
Every time I assign PageUp/PageDown to other functions after restarting the program it resets to default. Any idea?
