Finally finished my Lynx crane, with some headaches
-
I finally finished my crane.
It's on the 3D warehouse. I have a bit less hair on the head now!
2 days to just understand how a wheel can work and I realized it's better to create a wheel from the Sketchyphysic wheel object, even if you replace original geometry by your, to prevent headaches.
I also realized that joint connections and behavior depends on parts size. I was unable to realize the steering, my wheels were falling down only because I created too little parts to connect my servos to.Anyway, SchetchyPhysics has quite a lot of impredictable crashes in conditions where usually, it works fine. I think it would be nice that somebody take back the development in account to investigate on some points.
UI is also a bit strange as I finally took the habit to copy the text I wrote to eventually paste it few times in the script fields as it often desappear without any clear reason.
Sometimes the UI doesn't display anything about a selected object, it's necessary to exit and restart sketchup.
I also wonder how magnet really interact with the environment. I use it to mimic the hook of my crane and everytime I attract a magnetic object I want to hook, the position of the hook strangely changes as it be attracted by - something -. Nothing magnetic around anyway!
In fact if you test 2 objects, one magnetic and one with the magnet feature, you can see the magnet attract the magnetic, normal, but together continue to strangely go away !??! I think it's what cause the strange behavior I get with my hook. I really don't understand what is behind this.Regards,

Seems to require a bit more computing power than I have on hand, mainly due to the complexity of the geometry in the model I assume.
Had a look at your ruby and it looks really cool however
When I get some time I'll make a basic instructional video on scripting for sketchyphysics based on what I have learned through trial and error on my most recent project.
Congratulations on your hard work

Ok, I'll take a look at it.
From my experience and about calculation time, some minor changes in the model could cause the simulation to lag a lot. I have no idea about what happens in such cases.
Normally, the model I shared runs smoothly on my I7 Q840. Are there some external reasons, other plugins I don't know, which could cause problem......

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
