@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.

Great ! No answers again! This isn't done at all!!

What the heck has happened?! No one's answering my post!

Thanks...

@mitcorb said: Question- what is the function of the U bar suspended down below? The U-bar is used by the tractor driver to gauge the height of the plants he is running over. The IR sensor rack is raised so the bottom of that bar brushes over the tops of the plants. I think that determines the area that the sensors can "see".

I also have no idea what it is (probably because I do not use SP myself) but we have a dedicated SP subforum where I am moving your topic so that it gets better attention.

I made up a bunch of videos related to modeling a house for an engineering course. Check YouTube, and search for "ET365"

@ashscott said: Try making a simple SP file from scratch - sounds like there might be something in your file that is causing issues if you have been trying to open the same file - You're right - starting with a clean file cleared the fault. It seems there's a conflict between version 3.1 & 3.2. I started working with 3.2 & have some files created with that version. Then having had a problem, I went to re-install & could only access v3.1, so have continued using this version. If I open an existing file that was not originally created in 3.1... the programme crashes (to be expected I suppose - but it then continues to crash with files of either versions). Your suggestion has given me a way to clear the problem. Ideally, I'd like to re-install 3.2 & keep to it - but can't seem to access it now. Anyone know where its's gone?

One limitation of SketchyPhysics is that objects that are below a certain size will not move. If your individual door panels are very thin, for instance, they will not move. If you connect several thin panels together with joints, then group them all into a single group, that group will be large enough to move in the SketchyPhysics environment, but the panels themselves will be frozen relative to each other. Sometimes, you need to scale everything up to make a simulation work, even though your dimensions will be proportionately larger than in real life.

Probably just my older machine (2.6 ghz dual core) even though the rendering of SU is only on one thread..... I tend to cut out any unnecessary geometry in my SP models but if you have the firepower to run it then no problem - again, nice work

I realized that I didn't have the correct toolbar activated. But thanks for the help.

I had the same idea. But unfortunatly without much sucess. Now I have expanded my idea because I would like to create an arbitrarily large piece of paper. I imagine a script that works like this: Creating a surface. Indication of the subdivisions. Connect Parts in one or more directions. Indication of the flexibility of the individual parts. 1 ° to 360 °

Hello rider. I am anikettech now joined in. Soon i will tell you the solution.

@ashscott said: So you're not getting the issues I described two posts ago.....? I seem to get it no matter how I run it (apparently the raytest issue was clashing with SU8 but I can't even get it working right in SU7) try reinstalling sketchup or SP or sumthing ...

i have done it! i have found the solution!! this is just what i wanted this is the file. touch the red ball(the player) with anything(black ball) but the green ball(thats the bullet).The health is not reduced! Then touch the + sign with the black ball .No change! Then try the green ball. Touch the red ball with it .The health is reduced!! When low at health touch the + sign with the green ball to restore health !! I am so happy. Thanks for all help Ash! Health.skp

As far as I know you can't stop it. Instead of importing, save it as another file, select everything in that file (ctrl+A) copy it (Ctrl+C) the go to the file you wanted to import into and go edit->paste in place. That should do the same thing as import without losing all your info Ash

Nice prompt reply Frans

Can you post files in V6 ? (Save as )
