A plugin for object animation• I have saved the Sketchup file• It is here
http://www.cs.ucc.ie/j.bowen/cs2508/widgets/animationWithMoverPlugin.skp• Load it into Sketchup and you will see that the animation works• But, when you export a QuickTime movie, you will see that the object does not move

A commercial plugin for object animation• SU Animate is a commercial plugin for object animation• It is available here
http://www.ohyeahcad.com/suanimate/
and costs $79• However, it is possible to download an evaluation copy for free
– this has a life-span of 10 days• SU Animate appears to offer some attractive functionality
– see this demonstration video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfy8Drf-KL8
• SU Animate appears to function in a way which automates the manual animation process we saw earlier– it generates scenes by using layers
• Animations produced by SU Animate can be exported as movies• However, some users have reported that SU Animate is unstable and
frequently causes Sketchup to crash– this has been my experience too
