To check the animation you can use View \/ Animation \/ Run. You then use File \/ Export \/ Animation to generate a video in AVI format. The default settings use a low frame rate and image size, which is quick and compact to generate but lacks quality; increase to say 24fps and 1024px x 768px or more. To add a sound track you&#8217;ll need to convert the AVI to an audiovisual format such as WMF.<\/p>\n<p>The Walk tool in SketchUp works differently, though still for a single model. In Perspective mode, you define a route as a series of points at ground level, plus a viewing height. \u00a0SketchUp generates the walking tour through that sequence of viewing points.<\/p>\n<p>The Look Around tool rotates your view around a fixed point. For it and the Walk tool, you could use video capture of the moving screen image to record a video (perhaps with audio).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are presenting the 3D models entered for\u00a0the Competition in various ways for the Awards Finale and our web site\/online publicity.
