Hi everyone! The process on this one takes a little getting used to, but once you get it, you can create some really cool animations! Let me know if you have questions in the comments below! :)

I'm really enjoying your 30 day challenge. This subject is way over my head though. I don't understand scenes yet at all let alone animating them. I'll figure it out someday.

Thanks so much, Justin.
Your videos has been an amazing guide for me using Sketch up.

Please I need your assistance.
Sketch up keeps giving this message
"constraint not appropriate at this time" when I try to input a measurement to draw a line or form. I don't know how to rectify this. Please what do I do so that I can conveniently place measurements again?

My first two scenes work beautifully, but in my third scene the plywood piece just pops(unhides) into view instead of animating down over my framing. I have tried everything to animate this transition and nothing works. Do you have any suggestions? Thankyou so much for these videos!! You are great!!
