  • Mover: moves objects during a time intervall along the motion Vector.
  • Rotator: rotates objects during a time intervall. Further parameters are Rotation Axis/Direction, Center of Rotation and Angle.
  • Tranquillizer: slows the render process if the animation runs to fast.
  • Photographer: creates a picture of a given format and size to a render directory for every time step.
  • Plugger: connects a newly created object to an already animated shuttle object or to a vertex of an animated sketch to enable using sketcher to calculate complex transformations with some constraints by means of the shuttle object.
  • Adjuster: enables to calculate a value by a basic linear function. Now sketches can become animated by changing values in constraints.
  • Styler: controls the Gui-object. Visibility, Transparency and Shape Color can be changed on the fly.
  • Billboard: Billboard and Moviescreen are features to display extra information like texts or images during the animation.
  • Moviescreen: Billboard and Moviescreen are features to display extra information like texts or images during the animation.
  • Extruder: can be used to demonstrate the functionality of a miller or a 3D printer.
  • Viewpoint:
  • Manager:
  • Bounder: limits the values of the Placement to an intervall. It is the projection of a motion to a min/max limited space.
  • Filler: can be used to fill the volume of a part from bottom to top like to fill a bottle with wine. It can work as running slice trough the part like a ct scan.
  • Gearing: animates the rotation of 2 or 3 gears or a star-planet-moon system.
  • Kartan: animates a Kardan joint.
