SketchyPhysics3.1

CPhillips

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

ROVAP

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.

Coolness! Looking forward to it!

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

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

CPhillips

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

Hi Chris,

I did as you suggested (I hope).

After disabling Sketchyphysics from the plug-in menu, restarting SU and entering the statement, I got this;

load('sketchyphysics.rb')
true

If I then restart sketchyphysics from the plug-in menu, the console gives this;

I'm not sure that will be much help, but thank you and let me know what you would like me to try next.

Hmmmmm. It isnt obvious what the problem is from the log. But I dont think its a 64 bit problem.

It might be a plugin conflict. Would you mind testing that?

Copy your plugins directory so you can restore it after testing.
Then get rid of everything but:
SketchyPhysics.rb
SketchySolids.rb
win32api.so
SketchyPhysics3\ <-directory.

Then try again with the ruby console method.

Thanks for helping track this down!

Chris

Ok-we are making progress!

When I do as you suggested and start SU, I get the following:

Error Loading File sketchyphysics.rb
undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object

But, once I clear this and start SU, I can load sketchyphysics through the console and run the model. At this point, the console gives this:

I'm guessing this second part is normal because after this I can run the model. I will spend some time this weekend loading plugins one at a time until I hit the error and then report back.

Thanks for your help and this nifty script. I am happy to help as I am mostly an observer here with little opportunity to contribute.

@unknownuser said:

Suggests that 'sketchup.rb' isn't loaded at that point.
At the very start of 'sketchyphysics.rb' add the line
require 'sketchup.rb'
that should fix at least that one error - then hopefully the consequential ones too...

andy1347

TIG nailed the first part of the problem with his suggested fix.

After rebuilding my plug-ins folder, I have determined the culprit causing the conflict is a ruby called 'singleton' in a folder called 'ruby'. As near as I can tell, it is used with Jim Foltz's 'autocenterpoint'.

With that one file removed, SketchyPhysics seems to load and run just fine. I hope this helps and look forward to a fix.

Thanks to both of you for your help with this.
