Hi,

I've been working with AC3D only a couple of days. It shows great promise for animating objects created in SketchUp.

However, there seems to be a lack of documentation on how to do translations, which I finally learned means linear movement as opposed to rotations. So far, all of the tutorials I've found focus on rotations instead of translations.

Below is a brief video I made to illustrate my question. I'm trying to figure out how to change the direction that the object moves along the line. As you can see in the video, no matter which direction I create the line in, the model moves from left to right. How do I get it to switch to moving right to left?

Thanks,
Bill
