Description
This macro allows the user save the 3D view in a desired format. The 3D view or the full 3D window of FreeCAD takes the desired dimensions. A rotation of the selected object or of the 3D view is possible to give a rotation angle the number of images is calculated automatically it is possible to give a departure angle and an arrival angle. You must use another Gimp example program to assemble the images and create the animated file.
