Something I'd like Turbo FloorPlan to come out with....

[LaughingChipmunk]

I'd like for TFP to come up with animated elements. I was looking at this 3D design program called Plan3D and checking out the demos. The program features animated elements, like refridgerators, ovens, cupboards, toilets, doors, things like that. You just click on the door (or toilet lid) and it opens, click on it again, and it closes. I'd get the year subscription, but it cost like, $35 I think and I can't afford it right now...plus, the trial version won't work on my computer and I'm arguing with the company right now because my securities detected malware on their installation download and they're trying to tell me there's no malware, but I have proof, in my logs.    So... *shrug* 

But I would love to see animated elements on TFP! Somebody put a bug in their ear! :-D

The 'non-free' version of Google SketchUp does animations too, so maybe we will see it some day.

Of course you could do some animated viewing now...but not click dependent unless you use a program like Visio or html, which will switch image view on mouse click

- Do an animated TFP fly thru...maybe more than one of the same scene except change some objects (open closed)...use NLE video to paste together the animation you want  (doors can be set to various % open)....so as you "walk" toward a door, camera stops moving, door opens slowly, then you "enter" via camera motion.

- Make a short animated .gif from still frames of a TFP scene.

- Use Photoshop tool "puppet warp" to make several still frames animating motion of an object, compile into an animated .gif or whatever format video you desire

- Some web page tools will easily make click image changes....publish a web page and view TFP objects/image in a browser viewer.

Side by side still images often will tell the story without any user action except visual comparison.

But I agree, the effect could be useful interaction....and easy to accomplish within the program,

The issues being raised by your security program are in fact anti piracy measures used in much of the commercial software in use.
