Speed (Degrees per Frame): Rotation angle (in degrees) of the model or camera per frame. Predefined options: Slow (5°), Medium (10°), Fast (30°). Custom: Enter a specific rotation step (in degrees).

Delay: Adjust the delay (duration in milliseconds) between frames (default: 300 ms).

Rotation: Origin: Apply the rotation either to the model's center or the camera. Axis: Set one of the default axis X, Y, or Z as the rotation axis (default: Z). Direction: Define the Clockwise (CW) or Counterclockwise (CCW) orientation of the rotation.

How to Use 1. Configure Settings: Set the desired resolution, speed, delay, rotation axis, origin, and direction. If "Custom Speed" is selected, specify the step angle in degrees. 2. Generate GIF: Click "Generate" to start the GIF creation process. Monitor the progress bar and preview window. 3. Preview: Click the "Preview" button to pause/play the resulting GIF after generating. 4. Save GIF: Once the GIF is generated, click "Save" to download it to your device.

A 7-Days trial licence can be activated on first use directly from the interface just by filling a basic form. A Permanent licence can be purchased from https://citygeometrix.com/sugif/. To activate a purchased licence, go to Plugins > GIF Exporter > Add Licence, and provide the email + licence that were sent to you by email at purchase (check the spams in case).

v1.2.6 - The access issue seemed to persist for users in China. With this new version, all server interaction have been removed, therefore, there should be no server-related issues anymore. Consequently, the licensing has become restricted to a single machine (a Product ID needs to be provided to buy a licence. It can be found under the "About" and "Add Licence" dialogs of the tool).

• The UI would disappear in some situations (when the user plugs multiple screens and unplug them). While this seems to be SketchUp problem, we provided a fix that ensures that the UI dialog is always brought to the top left of the main screen.

v1.2.0 Attempt to mitigate server issues faced by users located in China preventing them from accessing the tool.

v1.1.2 - For the "Origin-Model", the rotation is arranged to mimic a model rotation but actually only the camera rotates to avoid modifying the active model.
