Hello all. I am designing a part that requires a set screw. It's a sleeve that goes over a cylindrical object (a pen in my case) that requires a set screw to hold it in place. I will be printing this part. What I can't figure out is how to get the hole for the set screw to go through the side of the sleeve.

I tried making a cylinder the size of the hole I wanted, shoving it through, intersecting faces, and then deleting the cylinder and the circles that it made in the side of the sleeve from the intersect, and that kind of worked, but that just leaves me with a series of holes in the side of my piece that are not connected. I'm looking to make more of a "tunnel".

Is this making any sense to anybody? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide some pictures if necessary.

So I guess I've solved the problem. All I did was uninstall the Keyframe Animations Plugin and reinstall. It seems to have fixed the issue.

Also, I use TwilightRender to render my animations, and while it is not free, it is also not that expensive and does a beautiful (and user-friendly) job.

Hello all. I am new to these forums and have been using sketchup here and there for about a year. I quite like the simplicity and versatility of the program and have recently been asked by my boss if I could do some animations.

So I've downloaded the trial version of keyframe animation and so far I'm loving the plugin and how easy and straightforward it is to use.

However, I have found that when I try to change the scene settings, the only thing that "sticks" is the delay number (which I set to 0)

I can't get the transition time or the framerate to change at all. I can change the number, but as soon as I run the animation they change themselves back. I can change the framerate, exit the scene settings dialog, and as soon as I go back into it it has reset itself to 10.

I am not sure what is causing this. Maybe it's because I've just got the trial version? I hope not. I would like to see that something works all the way before I pay for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty much stymied on my animation job until I can get this resolved.
