SketchyPhysics3.1

hpnisse

Hello CPhilips! (or someone else).
How can I use Velocity & Torque in sketchyphysics 3.1?
Is it something with, get the speed of a physics joint (hinge/motor for example)?
Some examples or something will be appreciate.
Its from this website that you named in this post I find it, but no instructions how to use them.

setVelocity takes a vector that is the direction the object will be moving and the length of the vector is how fast. It is different from push because it actually sets the objects velocity rather than just try to push it.

setTorque does the same thing with the objects rotation.

I updated the script page on the wiki.

Example attached

Hey!
Thanks for fast answer, is it possible to "getTorque/velocity" to know if something is moving in any direction.
And get the speed of an object, if I will do a speed/RPM -meter?

Hi,

Just wondering if there was any news about the updated, "fixed", mac version?

I was looking around and I didn't see any new files

Thanks

Yeah 3.2 should work on Mac. I'll do a zip file for it tonight.

Am I being stupid but could someone put a link directly to the latest MAC version of SP 3.1 or 3.2 what ever is latest. I often read the forums and see Mac version coming then the next posts are of people trying to get Mac version to work. However I never see the link or if there is one it takes you to a PC exe file.

Thanks in advance.

Good question. I tried downloading SketchyPhysics3RC1-MacAndWin-Fixed.zip off the Wiki front page, but the newest files in there are dated March 26, 2009, so I figured that can't be right.

Sorry for the late reply. Mac will be supported in the next version. It was supposed to be out last week but I found some problems and havent had a chance to fix them. It should be in a few days.

Guys
Could you please "STICK" this final version on the top of the forum?

Thank you all very much.

Good work!

David.

How 'bout now?

CPhillips

Sorry, I know I am late with the new version. I have been real busy.

I'll work on this week but no promises.

I downloaded the newest version of sketchy physics and installed it. I have sketchup pro 8. When sketch up starts i get the following message

Error Loading File sketchyphysics.rb
undefined method extend_object' for Singleton'

then when i try to download and use a sketchy physics model from wharehouse, they dont work and i get the following message.

Error starting the simulation:uninitialized constant. msketchyphysics 3::SP3xSimulationContext::SP Sounds C:/PROGRA~1/google/GOOGLE~3/plugins/sketchyphysics3/controller commands. Rb:777:in 'initialize'

can anyone help me with how i sort this out?

I have never seen that error before. Best guess something went wrong with the new Midi sound support. What version of windows are you using? Do you have any thing unusual about your sound setup?

Hi,

I get the exact same error as Loolytoo above. The only apparent difference is I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and SU7. I have tried reinstalling SketchyPhysics. When I run a sample model, the Ruby console shows this;

Checking if dueForUpdate
String doesn't compile: uninitialized constant MSketchyPhysics3::SP3xSimulationContext::SPSounds#<NameError: uninitialized constant MSketchyPhysics3::SP3xSimulationContext::SPSounds>

C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/SKMtools/image_class.rb:946

Had I made this model myself, I would say it is operator error, but that is not the case.
Could someone shed some light on how to either solve this or work around it so I could try my hand at using this plug-in?

Thanks,

Andy

64 bit might be the problem. It looks like the scripts are not loading properly so the bug is probably happening before the error you submitted.

Try this:
Load Sketchup
Open the ruby console under the windows menu.
Then type this:

load('sketchyphysics.rb')

It will probably print an error. If so send it to me and I can track it down.

Thanks
Chris
