Scratch

Dont you just Right-click it and press save to Blah Blah Blah Snore?

Press Print Scr on the keyboard near the F1, F2, F3, etc. buttons (though it can vary by keyboard) in a pose you want. Open up Paint and ctrl+V the image into it. Crop the image until you have just the house. Then save it and import it into Scratch!

Unless there's a way to automatically convert Sketchup files to images?

I can't seem to find it,    Too bad that'll take lot's of memory. I already saved it to Sketchup! *BING* IDEA! Print Scr then delete after import. Thanks!

Open Scratch-> Import -> Find Image -> Press Okay -> Press Okay. Idk...

Lol

There is a way to get Sketchup to produce a series of image files....if you're trying to make an animation or something.  Go to View->Animation and define a Scene.  Then, change the camera position and define some more Scenes.  The program will generate intermediate positions between the Scenes.  Then, go to File->Export->Animation and it will spit out a bunch of images to a directory.  You can then drag the images into Scratch and make an animation very quickly...like this one:

Paddle, I was able to do so. But I never know what somebody means when they say drag the images. Where do you drag from? Do you click and drag onto the Scratch software?

Outside of Scratch, you open up a file browser that shows the image files you want to bring into Scratch.  You also have an open Scratch project showing on a part of your screen.  Then, you drag the files from the file browser into the Scratch project and drop them on the sprite or the stage (drop them on the small picture of the sprite from the list of sprites).  That's all there is to it!

Of course, there are other ways to import images as well...but the drag and drop method described above is the quickest when you are working with lots of images, say for an animation.

Wow thx! I'll work on it!

try print screen

Ugh, I'm so dumb! Now I don't know where I could get the frames for the animations. I'm so stupid! 

SketchUp stuck them somewhere strange?  I think it makes a folder or directory and sticks them in there.   You give it a location (like Desktop) and it makes a folder there and stuffs it full of images.
