Flaps
Version:
0.1
Date Updated:
02/07/2012 
Flaps simplifies animation of flipping planes. You select one edge, let Flaps generate a new plane which then will be rotated around that edge. Finally Flaps generates a spinner you can use to control and retime the whole animation.
Additional Info:
If you create something interesting with it, i would love to see it: mail@danielwichterich.de
1. Run script
2. Select a plane object.
3. Press "Initialize"
3. Select the edge you want to rotate around
4. Press "New Plane"
5. Rotate the new plane to its final position
6. Repeat from 3
7. After the creation of the last plane press "Finish"
8. Control animation using the custom attribute of your first plane

hi, glad you like it. i just
hi, glad you like it. i just tried backburner rendering and it doesn't seem to be a problem. can you open your file locally on a computer having proplems via network rendering and check if it is working fine?
Rendering on a network?
Hey,
I'm using this script as part on an interior build animation for floor tiles. Its a great little script and so easy to use!
Doing local tests it worked fine, but rendering over the network we have set up in the office it seems to break. Locally everything is fine, but over the network it only shows the last 2 strips of floor tiles unfolding but the first 5 strips don't have any animation?
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers

Love to use the script, but when I run it I get: Cannot assign to read only variable:Planes.

yes, base object has to be a plane
Am I correct in assuming that
Am I correct in assuming that this only does rectangular planes?
