Thanks for the reply.
Much appreciated!!
Will play with it a bit more and try your suggestions. I really love what you are doing to keep the fun in programming and sharing your knowledge and skill with others.
I'm now retired and trying to keep my brain active and you are helping me do that.
Thanks again and would love to see an update to the non sticky joints???
Cheers Peter

been looking for an animator for some time and have looked at this plugin with Sketchup 2017 Make to keep the costs down to zero. The new version of Free Sketchup is on line only so no use to me.
I cannot get the joints to remain located exactly and the objects drift apart after a short period of time.
I also downloaded a steam beam engine model with full animation. this worked fine for a couple of iterations and then proceeded to disintegrate due to drifting of the joints.
Is this just me of is this an ongoing problem with this plug in?

If I could get it to work it would be a terrific program. everything seems to work except this drifting of the joints. pity I've spent quite a bit of time trying to make it work.
