Body definition in animation…(3nd icon)Ground (Part01)body1 (Part02)body2 (Part03) Click on them to see if the parts are highlightedClose

Drag model and create snapshots…(4th icon)- drag the part02 and move it 90 degrees (click w left mouse button, double-click to release at the desired position)- take a snapshot “Snapshot1”appears in the “Drag” GUI- drag part02 in the initial position, take “Snapshot2”- drag part02 another 90 degrees (opposite snapshot1); take “Snapshot3”Close

Start the animation…(3rd to last icon)STOP it at the end of 4 seconds time interval

Playback (2nd to last icon)Animate GUI. See if the total no of frames is 40. If no repeat the previous step.Capture/ Name of file, Type(.mpeg, .jpeg)

Works better with a white background (View/Display Settings/System Colors/ (background-white)
