In case you missed this url, it might have some basic info?: https://sites.google.com/site/sketchyphysicstutorial/home

Just mentioned in another active thread and saw your topic.

Rider, we have a dedicated SP subfoum down on the main index page > special interests. I have moved your topic there now - it would be better to keep posting there as it gets better ttention by SP users here.

Thankyou so much!!!!
it really worked !
thanks a lot

I don't fully understand the question......

In case someone else gets stuck on this, you can download LazyScript, install it, click the 'UI' button, and put the required ruby script in the box at the bottom, probably best under the item 'comp'. Either this or you can download a third party ruby console plugin (not the existing sketchup ruby console).

I am working on a really unique SP project - two joysticks, over 20 different machinery functions being simulated - but I am facing many challenges given the lack of documentation and lack of SP discussion on the forum now. If anyone expresses interest I can put up what I learn about joint control here..... its quite fun and I am learning (through trial and error) many things that I haven't seen discussed on the forum.

Or in other words I only want to know why energy is not conserve in sketchyphysics. Because if they was no non-conservative force when a ball would be rolling it should never stop but it does.

Seems SketchyPhysics can make that ?

For seeing datas Paraview

put the ball in the hole.skp

For those interested in specified directions:

Find:

module AudioToolbox
extend DL::Importable
dlload '/System/Library/Frameworks/AudioToolbox.framework/Versions/Current/AudioToolbox'

and change to: (note blue line at bottom)

module AudioToolbox
extend DL::Importable
dlload '/System/Library/Frameworks/AudioToolbox.framework/Versions/Current/AudioToolbox'
dlload '/System/Library/Frameworks/AudioUnit.framework/Versions/Current/AudioUnit'

OK, another plug for Miku Miku Dance:

Take a look at this video

[flash=425,344:15sbrqiy]http://www.youtube.com/v/DU08c8h6a2U[/flash:15sbrqiy]

This was made using the open source software "Miku Miku Dance", which is able to import SketchUp models. The trains, I think, are actually driven by the rotation of their wheels, and a "Camera Follow" effect is used to keep the view on one of the trains.

Something like this can be made using SketchyPhysics, I'm sure.

Damn... don't let Google get a hold of these, or instead of Streetview, we will have these little pests mapping our houses to model for Google earth 😮

Hi Duray and welcome!

We have a dedicated SketchyPhysics subforum so I have split your post off the other one and moved it here.

thnx.... 😉 so ummm please do help me soon out as i am working on a project ......

look this

replay sink.skp

it works

bal.skp

pretty cool

Nice work though I'm not sure it is quite there. If your intent is for the platform to rotate about a fixed axis you have a problem in that the distance from the top fixed rotation point on the linkages must vary as the device rotates. If you intent is for the platform to both rotate and go up and down you probably need a slider (or piston) on each side. I'll try and take a stab at this this weekend. Keep plugging away.

Try these!

Hi,

After stopping at your intermediate point, you can create a new file from file menu save-as without switching from sketchyphysics.

Good luck

I am having the same problems

You may want to see the video I prepared for a different thread in this form.

I think you need to make your blocks into groups in order to make them interact with physics. Also, there is a lower limit to the size of an object that will work with physics. Once you have separately grouped each of your blocks, they should fall under gravity when you start the simulation.
