ANIMATE A Ceiling Fan! Sketchup to BLENDER to LUMION

This video was an absolute mess, but I decided instead of cutting the video and starting over I would show all of the troubleshooting I had to do. It may take a little trial and error, but it is rewarding to learn how to get through a problem like this. When I tested it before I recorded, it worked on the first try.

I am going to be getting into more complex animations, but I think this is one of the best objects to start with as it is fairly simple and goes over a lot of good fundamentals. If you have not seen my video about basic animations in Lumion I recommend you check this out.
