Thanks much Fredo6. But please don't make this change for shapes only for me. It's a lot of work for just one person and I'm sure you have lots of other work to do. If there are other people who would benefit from this perhaps they can mention this in this message thread.

@sigasiempre said: I'm having trouble understanding how to specify a path for an object movement. I've set up some curves by slicing a cone (conic section) and want to use the as paths for an object to follow. However, these curves don't show as paths when I try to set up a movement. I've attached a file with the curves and a sphere I'm trying to animate to follow these curves. You just need to make the conic contours TRUE Sketchup curve (with TIG Weld). Then they will apear as selectable pathes in Animator. Fredo

Great thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely, you MUST NOT quit Sketchup when Animator is started, whther you exited temporarily. This is a limitation which I'll try to resolve. Are you able to create cameras? Fredo
