      hi Joe, i think i can explain this.

      http://sketchupusers.vacau.com/index.php?topic=115.msg1267#new

      this topic basicly asked the same question, and the conclusion was Sketchup 8 uses a newer version of ruby which isnt liked by Sketchyphysics (all version i believe).

      Sketchup 7 works fine on windows 7, but Sketchup 8 i havnt tried.

      My advice, if you can, switch back to sketchup 7 to use sketchyphysics.

      If you can read this, thank a teacher.
      If you can read this in english, thank a soldier.

          @jaysax: In the Save As dialog you can save to older .skp formats.

            Maybe its conflicting with Twilight Render. Could you try it without that plugin?

              I have a new version almost ready. But I cant release it until I know why it sometimes doesn't work with SU8

                Are you getting errors?
                Have you checked the code for the stricter syntax Ruby 1.8.6 require?
                Or checked the Ruby 1.8.6 changelog for other info on changes in the core?

                  It seems to work fine on my copy of SU8 Pro. No crashes or unusual errors or warnings in the console. Maybe its a OS thing. I am running Vista.

                  Does anyone else find it less stable than in SU7?

                    Maybe if one of the people with problems can send you their plugins folder and you can test that? Maybe there is a third-party plugin causing problem...

                      Sometimes the stars just align.....Chris, go ahead and release it. You know you want to. Throw us your adoring minions a bone. Hope all is well with life and coding.

                        hi, within this post http://sketchupusers.vacau.com/index.php?topic=115.msg1292#new there is a link to a dropbox which has Sketchup 7 installer file (just look through it and find the link)

                        thats if you want Sketchup 7 back.

                        If you can read this, thank a teacher.

                          I have the same problems. Using Win7,SU8, SKP3. Only SKP# and default plugins are installed.

                            Maybe its an issue with Win7?

                                I've got the simulation to work with:
                                Sketchup 8
                                SketchyPhysics 3 (last version I think)

                                And it runs on a computer with this:
                                Processor: Intel Pentium 4 - 3.2GHz
                                RAM: 2.5GB
                                OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (86-bit)

                                So the simulation is slow but it works fine. (only slow in big physics models, if the .skp file is over 1MB)
                                And I had no other (heavy) plugin like Twilight or somthing like that.

                                  Gah! I dont want to have to upgrade to Win7 just to track this down. Does anyone happen to have Win7, SU8, SP3 and Visual Studio 2005+ installed? Long shot I know.....

                                  Hpnisse you said it was slow with big models. Slower that SU7 with the same model?

                                    No, it was the same thing with SU7, so I think that probably is the computers fault.

                                      It's very random. On a given full day of working, sketchy physics will crash sketchup 7-8 times. Always while in run mode, and never at the 'start' of the simulation, usually a couple minutes in.

                                      I don't have visual studio, sorry.

                                      Using Win 7, Sketchup 8 and SP3.

                                        Well this sucks. I finally managed to find a model that would crash SU8 and not SU7. But it is crashing deep in the physics engine and I have no way to debug it.

                                        At least this crash is not in the Ruby differences. It may be a bug in SU8 or it maybe a bug in the physics engine. Either way I don't see how I can fix it.

                                        😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠

                                        This model always crashes SU8. If it doesn't crash your SU8 could you let me know.

                                          Could be worse.....could be raining.

                                          Thanks for your incredible work and passion for your invention.

                                          I guess I'll just need to fill real sandbags now.

                                            Can you pm me a file that isn't working? Since I have Win 7 and sketchup 8 and it seems to work ok.
