there is a plugin to save the toolbar

(we probably have to be registered to the french forums to be allowed to access it !?) %(#0000FF)[hello last update in french Suite à l'utilisation de SKETCHYPHYSICS et devant le peu de tutoriels en français, voici quelques notes que j'ai prises . Peut-être, pourrons-t-elles aider quelques collègues et constituer le départ d'une doc. @simon le bon Bonjour Simon , thanks for your encouragement bye chri] UTILISATION DE SKETCHYPHYSICS 20120331.xls [image: zkhv_EXTRAITPAGE5.png]

I forgot to tell you that you steer and drive with the arrow keys.

Perfect! It seems to work now (and without creating a multiple coyies ring)

this is the file: Doubt - Winch Cable.skp

hi If you'd like to see interesting example , please , take a look on the next link : http://www.mekanizmalar.com/menu_linkage.html bye chri

Hi marvelous if you'd like , you can see this topic http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=46796 bye chri

Take a look on the next vidéo. concept when two parts are common parts, they repel i think it's the major probleme of your scene . take a look and test my example kagazwala 4 with sketchyphysics chri] kagazwala 3.avi kagazwala 4.skp [image: pkKX_kagazwala4.png] [image: mKDp_exampleofconcavepart.png]

You guessed right. "righty" refers to the up and down arrows and "rightx" refers to left and right arrows. If you plug in a joystick it will act in the same way. "lefty" refers to the keys "w" and "s" and "leftx" refers to "a" and "d" pretty cool huh? read the sketchy physics wiki and you will get your head around all of this in no time: http://sketchyphysics.wikia.com/wiki/SketchyPhysicsWiki

Thanks! I'll try to implement the advice you have given me

In part, the cylinder solids of your piston are just for show. They do not really contribute to the mechanism, but they do complicate the model. I'd suggest that you remove them until you have the simulation working properly.

There isn't any sketchup stuff there but their Computer Science stuff is very visually based. As an engineer who really cut his adult teeth on Ruby I would have loved this interface when learning ruby. You make the change to the code and immediately see its effect.

Just speculating here, but you might have to change that wire into a sequence of elements, each as a convex hull. How smooth the wire would be is entirely up to how many discrete segments there are in the wire. Or, this may be more achievable in Blender?

Yea you may be right. O well, just seeing if anyone has a working one, thanks for your help and yea its not the end of the world, just like the ease and quickness of sketchy physics, I cant believe someone smart enough hasnt made a better one yet!! Thanks Again!!

I'd love to see sketchy physics to take advantage of CUDA and the nvidia graphics card. I bet it would have to slow down the frame rate so you could watch it.

have all the sketchucators fallen asleep ?! Why aren't there any replies ? I need this ,its my work!!

Thanks for your quick reply, TIG! I downgraded Lion on my macbook to Snow Leopard and everything seems fine.

@isoz said: Hi! is it possible Sketchyphysics to get a hinge value when rotate?? if i put $f.to_f into controller box the hinge becomes a servo pls help! look at this model no motor physics Elektromotor[1].skp

@danyhkim said: By pressing the shift key while dragging, an object may be dragged in the 'upward' direction. Releasing the shift key restores horizontal dragging while the object is suspended above the ground. Ha Ha. Doing this reminds me of the animated version of "Flatland", in which one character tries to tell the others about "up". The others just say "You mean 'north', don't you?" thank you for the solution

Don't know how to help you directly, but you might consider using a different codec. Some codecs will be more lossy in their compression than others. There is a freeware screen capture program called CamStudio that has a lossless codec available for download. Once installed, you may be able to choose the lossless codec for your video export, giving you a file that is gigantic in size and hard to work with, but which may then be transcoded successfully to another format with better results. I am guessing, but it's worth a shot.
