Of cource, only after I dug up animation2.rb online did I discover that there's a version bundled with SU 6, called animate.rb, that spins the model as I wanted. Still requires mods to dz & angular step size. It's in C: Program Files Google Google SketchUp 6 Plugins Examples on my WinXP machine, and just needs to be moved to its parent directory, Plugins, to be operative.
Vray loading error. C:/Program Files/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/. My Vray plugin is an authorised ASGvis demo release for Sketchup 6/7. Should I remove Google SketchUp Pro 6 by Google Inc? With Google SketchUp Pro 6. Google SketchUp 8; Google SketchUp Pro 8. C: Program Files Google Google. I also cannot locate C: Program Files (x86) Google Go ogle SketchUp 8 Plugins - I have sketchup make 2014. How to install Plugins in SketchUp.
