Creating a Construction Sequence Animation in SketchUp - The SketchUp Essentials #27

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi Everyone! Make sure you check out my tutorial on using the extension Animator to animate movement on the jobsite as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH6ZgKluqKqAaLM - Thanks for watching!

[@jeoii0097]

what is the name of the plugin sir?

[@ereklekereselidze1850]

I can’t render this sequence in vray. When i hit a render bottom appears errors and what do you think Is it possible to render such animation in vray or another render engine ?

[@brenteagleson7677]

I am so glad to have finally found someone on YT that really shows all... in a definite easy learning experience. Thank you again :)

[@rahilakhan831]

Thank you so much for this. YOur channel is the only one where I find every SketchUp solution

[@arcturus1996]

Thanks for helping me finish my internship report presentation, really helpful! Good explanation. GBU always

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - really glad it helped!

[@SoorajIsTheMan]

You are the best sketchup guru on the internet man. keep this stuff up!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks - glad you're liking the vids!

[@scenery]

This is another excellent clear tutorial thanks, I have used sketchup since it started and have never used the section plane tool. This tutorial and the previous one are brilliant and will improve my animations no end.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - glad you found it helpful!

[@PelangiDF]

your videos change my life, thank you!

[@thinkingmind1421]

As a beginner your Channel really help me a lot to easily understand and learn SketchUp. You are explaining everything clearly and so i could easily follow do my exercise at the same time. Big thanks. God Bless.

[@beniaminbalint3711]

Brilliant tutorial. It just goes to show that it's not just the content but also the presenter that can make it or break it. I for one only used tags to create my animations but that's because i wanted each column to come up individually and labelled i.e.C1 , C2 etc. Making use of sections instead, i wouldn’t have to go through the tideous work of creating a different tag for each of the 200 objects turning them on and off in every scene. Although the sections would pretty much serve the same purpose but the animation simply looks better using sections.

[@c3rvine]

Thank you for the amazing stuff you have on your channel, I was able to implement your method easily it worked like a charm!! Wish you keep on doing some more amazing stuff.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad it helped!

[@garryrife8421]

Hi! Thank you very much. I've been looking for this ever since. D-Day - a few hours from my presentation.

[@normanmcintosh4241]

Great video, thanks. Your presentations are very useful. I’m a real novice but enjoying the learning experience albeit frustrating at times but this is mostly down to my own impatience and getting too far ahead of myself. Thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad to help!

[@kamalemad52]

Thanks for your video. You have helped so much people to understand the construction sequence animation. Your video is the best that I have seen. Thanks so much. Have a nice day

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks a lot!

[@MaverickQbiak]

great stuff man, I just sketched a quick model and did an animation with Animator, all thanks to your tutorials. I will definitely use sequencing as well, many thanks for everything!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Definitely! Thanks for watching!

[@KUBE.archvis]

Absolutely fantastic!! After watching this I was able to make my own animation. I will definitely be using this technique in the future to present my work. Maybe I will start uploading videos of my own. Who knows. Thanks and kind regards from Germany. 😘

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You should start! Thanks for watching! :)

[@rachelschade6625]

Thanks so much for this. I am working with a student to animate the construction of a home, and she is a beginner at sketchup.

[@arnelmacogay4394]

Wow excellent tutorial animation!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much! Glad you liked it!

[@digitalstories2179]

I have a question. Is it possible to adjust the transition time for each scene??

[@willembuiting]

Thank you very much Justin. Very help full, this video.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Willem!

[@paingzinhtway9834]

Is there a way or a software to make construction animation like this but with rendered material??? Please !!!

[@rksudera]

Nice!

[@jeheni9074]

Really helpfull thank you so much for making this tutorial, can't wait to see the next ♥️♥️♥️

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@felipevitoria]

How can I get rid of the sections planes and not have them showing on the final animation?

[@patricksacy]

hello, thank you for the tutorial. Just a quick question. Is it possible to have it with rendered images, with textures and images etc?

[@rajkumar_gr]

very helpful thanks you so much

[@Thesketchupessentials]

👍

[@stevenbaker-robinson4626]

Awesome video, I am quite new to Sketch Up and your tutorials have been a great help. But I am getting sooooo frustrated as I know what I need to do, but cant get it to do it!!! I NEED HELP? Do you or do you know of anyone that can assist with one on one questions? I am sure if I was to show someone my issue and what I need it to do they could show me how to fix things in no time...

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't have capacity for one on one training in my schedule unfortunately. I do live Q&A's inside of my course though

[@payupich]

Nice man

[@Thesketchupessentials]

👍

[@normanwetzig4141]

Thx for this. I am having a bit of trouble. I am using the section cuts animation to animate an excavtion. So things in the animation have to disappear. First scene shows the topsoil still in the model. It is grouped and the section plane is not active. Second scene shows the model without the topsoil group. But the transition between the scenes just makes it disappear not slowly but very sudden. Scene transitions are enabled so I am a bit stuck...

[@Thesketchupessentials]

There needs to be an active section plane that doesn't cut the topsoil in the first scene, then another in the second with the actual "cut" plane active so that SketchUp can animate the transition

[@NikitaDugin]

Hi! I have a question. Let's say I have a slab in the first scene and I want to make a cut in this slab on the next scene using this method. Is it possible to do it without any shapes on the first scene?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Sure, just make sure everything is turned off in the first scene

[@antoninsticka4249]

Hi there, I have a problem with section planes acting like a bug. Let's say I have a high rise building and want to animate it to start appearing from the bottom. I put a section plane to the bottom of the building and set two proper scenes by activating/deactivating section plane. But during animation the section plane does not stop at the top of the building, but keep rising to "random" high "somewhere in the sky". Why is this happening? Should I set something or did I do something wrong? It affects duration of the rise animation. Building appears to quickly and there is optically longer delay between scenes, because it animatec just section plane rising and nothing is happening in model actually.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It's because you don't have a second section plane active in your second scene I think

[@antoninsticka4249]

​@@Thesketchupessentials Thank you for answering. I am not sure if I understend you. What "second section plane"? I put theoretically just one section plane and I want to just animate two scenes - nothing showed to building appearance. (in fact I have like 15 scenes). What is interesting, I thing this "bug" is happening only in horizontal cuts (moving up/down), but vertical cuts work normal (moving forward/back). I still using Sketchup 2016 unfortunately. Could this be a problem that was not solved in this version?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

​@@antoninsticka4249 It's not a bug. If you have one section plane active in one scene, then another active in another scene, SketchUp will animate the transition between them. If you just have a section plane active in one scene, and deactivated in the second scene, the section will just fly off into the distance, which sounds like what you're describing.

[@turalturkman6472]

Hello! I need your help. I made animation in sketchup 2016 make up, but I can't get export video mp4. please help me!

[@veronicaperalta5781]

i have a problem. my animation is not transitioning like in this tutorial. from one scene to another my objects do not slowly come up but instead just appear as a whole :( what do i do?

[@patrickguzan8629]

I loved this tutorial, however, I am trying to render this style of animation in Vray-5. Is that possible?

[@julianvalderrama1893]

How do you hide the sections plans when you play the animation? i want to create a video without the sections but every time i hide them they appear again.

[@amyasociadospr]

Great video very usefull.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks very much!

[@berttondo6170]

Can this be done in the Free version?

[@darshitnarola6821]

Hi I'm architect. I want to know that is it possible to make this type of animation with good render in exterior as well as interior also. Is any kind of render software available for make this type of animation

[@rinkeshmakawana1849]

thank you very much! its help alot for my project work.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad it's helping! Thanks for watching!

[@salmonfishman]

Hello, I'm having some trouble with the animation, when I add scene after my section cut is made, it doesn't show the animation for it. Am I doing something wrong?

[@Axios96]

How would I update it if I didn't want my camera to move in the animation

[@irfanakbar9286]

can you import skp file to be render in lumion??

[@azizuke]

hey man wonna ask you plz; can i import my model from Tekla structure and do the same think !!?

Superb! Thanks a lot! :)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

[@MarcGriffies]

Excellent tutorial on animation. One question I have.. Is there a way to add another scene showing the dismantling of the crane after all is done?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Sure - you'd probably just add section planes within the crane object group and create an animation the same way as you've done all the other scenes. Does that make sense?

[@veenacivil508]

Sir do a video on render construction animation.

[@manthausha]

Thank you this is very helpful. I was able to create an animation video for construction sequence however is there a way to get rendered output? (using enscape or any other rendering softwares?) pls help

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You could do it with Vray - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpDMin2masRphac - Thanks

[@marquinocompaniados5099]

Thank you.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@pandarzzz]

Thank you for the video! :)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Kevin!

[@moaski]

When I activate a section cut within a specific group, it applies that cut to all the rest of the groups, not merely the group the section cut is on. Why is that?

[@dfranyo]

How do you add some text that changes with the animation?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't understand what you're trying to do - if you want it to be a part of the animation, you'd just add the text in the same groups with the same section cuts...

[@dfranyo]

@@Thesketchupessentials no, you figured it out. After I sent the email question to you, I figured it out.

[@dfranyo]

also, how can export an animation that end on the last Scene and doesn't go back to Scene 1?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It shouldn't go back to scene 1 - are you sure your video player isn't just playing it on loop?

[@dfranyo]

@@Thesketchupessentials like most videos, it goes back to the beginning , which like you demo are groups hidden. I just want the animation to stop at the end, and not "rewind " Regardless, I want to ask about you Essential Class and ask for some guidance. My.company works on Building's exteriors. We renovate and change the exteriors to old schools and municipal buildings and I know if I can show a professional "before" & "after" rendering/animation it would help us gain a big advantage. Thoughts? Take your class of something else? How about Extensions? Thanks so much for your time and efforts, Drew

[@izzetkara5594]

Thanks :)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

👍

[@coathm]

Hi, how do I separate the section cuts, every time i add as section cut, it cuts everything in the model ? thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Are you adding them inside the groups? This only works if you're adding section planes within each group, otherwise you can't have multiple planes active.

[@rinocano6875]

what type of app that can render all this?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Vray, I think Twilight, possibly Thea and I think a few others

[@muhammadafiqmuhammadfadhil9864]

how to hide that section plane? ive clicked the display button but still it shows that plane when im playing animation. someone help pls

[@thomascotter4453]

My section view is visible in my animation any idea how to turn this off? I still want the cut but i can physiccly see the symbol for the section plane in the exported video

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Go to "View," then uncheck the box for "section planes." You'll likely have to update all of your scenes with this option turned off. Hope this helps!

[@thomascotter4453]

It did! Thank you so much!

[@wycleafgeffingalula3671]

how to render the animation?

[@fereshtehhendi133]

Can I get render of it in Enscape?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Not currently

[@schoolfield27]

i have SU 8, is it applicable this tutorial to SU8??? Thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Should be, though your workspace might look a little different. Give it a try and let me know if it works!

[@schoolfield27]

TheSketchUpEssentials . yes it works but it takes me more time to figure it out.. i wonder how to have a good quality video after exporting. thanks

[@Joe-xz8wo]

I think you should do an animation of somebody going in a house showing every sort of room oh and please reply to this thanks for the tutorial Justin

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Like this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2fYdqSBpa2lnqc

[@ogoririna3900]

Hi, how do i hide sektion planes, it appear in video? Thanks in Advance.

[@jonitan76]

right click at the toolbar, and activate section toolbar.. and there are 4 button in it. the 2nd button is to hide or unhide the sections planes

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You can also go up to the "View" toolbar and uncheck the option for "Section Planes." Make sure to update your scene after you do this to save the change in your scene. Thanks!

[@mre9159]

how to import animation scene sketchup to Lumion?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You can't

[@mohamedrefay8796]

that's cool but can we render this animation in vray??

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'm pretty sure the new version of Vray does section cuts (I don't have that version), but I'm not sure if it does section cut animations or not. Sorry I couldn't help more. Thanks for watching!

[@jonitan76]

i wish vray could render those scene transition as video animation as well..

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Does it not? I don't have enough experience with Vray to know - does it do static section planes but not animated? I though it could do that. Thanks!

[@murtazabhagat4504]

Did u try making a Vray rendered video animation? If yes, Can u plz make a tutorial of how to do it? (have been trying videos in lumion 8 but Vray 3.4 quality seems better)

[@coderrza117]

[@md.asadujjamanrazu7384]

name of the software?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Literally in the name of the video

[@dfranyo]

I am trying to so hard to copy your instructions on how to use section cuts to create a sequence animation, but unlike yours, when I make my Scenes they don't change (animate) like yours.

[@beniaminbalint3711]

Can you somehow use Sketchup and Enscape(especially with the geolocation context in the new enscape) to get similar results as you do with Revit and Cinema 4d? Basically fairly realistic rendered video sequencing animation in the actual location and topography just using sketchup and enscape? Pretty much what v5d are doing kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJmbmWaGqquWbsk
