Question

Rotate view as part of animation

Hi. I'm new to animation. 

 

I can successfully take snapshots of different part assemblies to create an animation, but how do I incorporate the whole assembly rotating as part of the animation (so the view start from viewing from the front, and rotates to end up viewing from the back)?

 

I rotated the whole assembly when I took my snapshots, but seems when you create the animation, the specific viewpoints are not remembered in the snapshots.

 

Hope this makes sense and you can help.

 

Thanks!

To animate between defined model views you need to use the "Explode" type animation, not snapshot.

 

The type should be shown in the Animation tree as seen here:

Great, thanks for that info. Do you have any tutorials or YouTubes that explain this? Just curious whether you can do the same clip sequence per part to create an animation within this Explode animation, or if the Snapshot and Explode sequences somehow need to be merged together.

 

Any further vids or tutorials would be super.

 

Thanks again

Hello @rjethwa 

 

You'll find nice video tutorials to produce Animations wtarting from Explode States versus Snapshots in article 36347

 

Hope this will help,

 

Regards,
