Octane Sketchup Exporter - 1024-04

Here's version 1024-04
Extract the files and subfolders from the zip-file and install as directed in the README or Help.pdf...
The update addresses a potential, albeit rare, error that was recently raised by 'cperkins': if an animation were set up with 'motion-blur' and exported, then depending on the 'previous/next' option setting, if there was either no scene listed before the first frame's scene, or there was no scene listed after the last frame's scene, then an error was raised when 'nil' scene was available for the frame's 'blurring', and the processing stalled at that point - perhaps annoyingly because with 'next' almost all of the frames files might have been created after a long run of processing. Now, depending on the 'previous/next' option setting, if there is either no scene listed before the first frame's scene, or there is no scene listed after the last frame's scene, then that first or last frame is not 'blurred' like the rest... Note that IF you want ALL of your animated frames to show 'motion-blur', then depending on your 'previous/next' option setting, you must ensure that there is a leading or trailing extra scene available to 'blur' with, and that you start your animation sequence either one frame in or end your animation sequence one frame early to allow for this...
All users, including he forty or so of you who recent got version 1024-03 are advised to upgrade asap - especially if intending to do animations with 'motion-blur' where there are no suitable leading or trailing frames....
Feedback please
