You need to enter a number of steps for the animation and a number of frames per second in the animation control widget. For this model good values are e.g. steps=100 and fps=10. to stop the animation simply set fps=0.
how is it animated? i tried selecting animate in the menus but nothing happens. sorry if this is more of an openscad question, but i couldn't find any info on animating things in openscad.
