Free Keyframe Animation

Instead of separating the extension for keyframe animation, why don’t you make built-in keyframe inside SketchUp Pro for free.

because someone else developed it.

The whole point of a software like sketchup that gives you a core base on witch you can graft whatever tools you need.

also, “free” wouldn’t be free. if Sketchup’s team were to acquire the current extension and include it within SU, or to recode everything from scratch, it would come at a cost that would definitively impacted on subscriptions.

If you read the description, the last line reads as:

The plugin comes with a 10-day Free Trial

My deduction is that, after this trial period, you have to pay.

true. 42$ for a permanent licence.

Someone is cheating! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I filtering to paid extension with must include trial, and no extension found. Only if you filter to free ones.
A serious store cannot make such a mistake. Not even if there is some hint in the fine print that the “price: free” highlighted for all other places is not true!
:thinking:

This is a longstanding complaint about the Extension Warehouse. It does not (yet) have a category for “listing pages” for commercial extensions sold via a 3rd party website.

It has been like this for years and is apparently low priority.

“We are -thanks to me :slight_smile: - a little off topic here, but:”

That’s why I find the store unreliable, and I won’t pay for anything to anyone there, especially not those who lie that their paid extension is free.
If this “lie” is because the store operator (knowingly) doesn’t fix the bug or wrongly implemented function, that was reported several years ago, … well, that’s an even bigger problem.

It has been like this for years and is apparently - every problem reported by user - low priority.
Except one or two rare situation, they are ignoring all user feedback’s. Including this one.

In French, we have a term for that kind of statement from a seller that is not honest. It is called “fausse représentation”. It can probably be translated in English by “false advertisement”.

In some country it is considered a legal offense and the seller may incur legal actions.

That’s why I pay a subscription to Sketchup because I like it and also to somehow get simple tools like keyframes without having to pay other developers, so it’s better for me to just switch to 3d’s Max because they have their own animation keyframes that aren’t developed by others.

2226€ a year. 3ds max is 6x the price of sketchup.
You’d rather pay 2K to one company than 350 for sketchup and a 42 one-time thing.
I mean ok, suit yourself. sound financial decision.

“Free trial” means something completely different than “Free”.
In the “main” price field I still see “Free”, so for me it means after 10 days Free Trial I need to pay nothing, because it is free.

The powers that be in the Extension Warehouse have been informed of this years ago. No solution has appeared.

I know they know.
The bigger problem is that they have no intention of fixing it. :disappointed:
We are prosecuting illegal software use on the forum, but I consider misleading pricing is at least as illegal.
