I never thought of using Sketchup for that, but I guess you could. What I find incredible with that first video clip is that because I called the video 'Converting Linear to Rotary Motion', it gets looked at by loads of students and has now had 370K views. LOL. I tell you what I also find funny is that people subscribe to my YouTube channel thinking I'll feed them another video. :-) 1.8K people think my channel is worth subscribing to. Lord save me from becoming an 'influencer'.
I don't think I have the SKP file anymore. I haven't even used Sketchup since I made this project back in 2012. Sorry.
