Thank you for this, I had a full-on adhd brain shutdown trying to animate my model for construction progression yesterday using a tutorial that lumped scene creation and section plane progressions in the same step and it overloaded me, this break down has made it click for me and I appreciate it so much.
Since I design additions, I’d love to see an animation showing certain components getting “demo’d”, then with new components going in. They make it look so easy on HGTV!
This video is a proof that SketchUp is missing a native animation feature. I.e. define a scene and then click imagined "define animation" button, make any adjustments (geometry, position, scale, etc. anything you can think of); then click "Finish" and bam, SketchUp could animate that transition in smooth 60fps. One could dream. Or is it present in latest SketchUp?
That type of animation has had relatively minor traction compared to other feature requests. The product managers do read the forums though, so you can submit a request there and try to rally support for it forums.sketchup.com/c/sketchup/feature-requests/25
Good tip for painless animations. Thank you for taking the time to preprare these tips. I have a question relating to a major annoyance with scenes. PROBLEM : you have many scenes in a file (let's say 15), showing various stages of a project (as in your example above); when you add an element to the project (for instance, in your current example, a large silly label that displays "Closed" or "Opened"), the new addition becomes, by default, visible in every scene. It is very annoying to then have to go though all the scenes, one by one, to turn off the new stuff in scenes where you don't want it to appear. And, of course, you have to remember to update the scene, otherwise the new thing will reappear when you come back to the scene after having moved over to another one. QUESTION : is there a way to make newly added elements invisible by default ???
I have a video request for you. I use MAKE 2019 and have followed videos on making my own component library, but it nevers seems to work. The example videos I have seen are all shown using a Sketchup Pro version above 2019. Will you show how to do this with SketchUp Make 2019?
The last version of Make was 2017. A lot of the basic function has stayed the same, but videos published on our channels will generally show the most recent version of SketchUp Pro.
I use Make 2017. I think everything in this video is possible there. It might look a little different (mainly "tags" are called "layers" in the older version), but the procedure would be the same.
thank you, but it didnt realy help, went through the whole process thinking I could play back the animation at the end showing the dooors opening and closing, got to the end to find this was no thte case, so its not realy an animation

Is there any advantage to using this over making the doors a dynamic component and using the onClick function?

How could your object floaing in the scene? seems it's cozy in the air, how to get that?
Thanks Aaron.
Thank's for this one.
