    Hi, I'm just trying it on SU2016 make. It all seems to work but i cannot understand how to use piston or servo motor or motor.

    If i press UI button i expect a window with interactive controller to appear but it's not, or better, a window appear, with many tabs, but the joint tab is empty when in play mode.
    So, how to move an object connected to a servo joint?

    • Drawing 1 group.
    • Create a Joint.
    • Select the "Joint Connection Tool" (red/green, rotary arrows)
    • Click onto group
    • Hold the left Ctrl / Shift
    • Click onto Joint
    • Done!

    /OR/

    • Drawing 2 group.
    • Click on one of them. Be it an "A".
    • Create a Joint on "A" group.
    • Show UI, Remove the check mark from the "Connected Collide" check box.
    • Controller:
    righty * 10 /OR/ rightx * 10 for right arrows. 10 is the velocity.
    key('up') /// key('down') /// key('left') /// key('right')
    
    lefty /OR/ leftx for WASD
    
    key('w') * 10 for "W" button on keyboard
    
    key('lbutton') for left click on mouse ( lbutton, mbutton, rbutton )
    
    get_var('variable') for script.
    
    
    • Select "A" group and joint. (Hold the left Ctrl OR Shift)
    • Right click / Make Group
    • Select "Joint Connection Tool"
    • Select "B" group
    • Hold the left Ctrl OR Shift and click onto Joints.
    • Done!

    Not complicated.

      Maybe I didn't explain well my problem.

      I know how to use joints!
      The problem is that if use hinge, or motor or slider, all work well. I simply have to drag my object to move it.

      If i use piston or servo, in Sketchyphysiscs, when i press play, a popu control panel with a slider appear and it allow me to mov emy object.
      With MS, nothing appear and i can't move my object

        I'm sorry, I misunderstood. In the MSPhysics at present there is no "Controller Panel".
        Anton is likely to put into it as well. For the time being, you can control the keyboard.

          Hello,

          Does this work on SU 2016 64bit ?

          Thanks

          From the requirements section of the website:
          http://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/file/README.md

          SketchUp 6 or later. SU2016 64bit is recommended!

          http://www.solos-art.com

          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

            Could you please explain me how?
            For example, if i place a servo joint connected to an object, what should I do to move that object in play mode?

              Write this codes into Joint / "Controller":

              
              rightx         Left - right arrows
              righty         Up - down arrows
              
              leftx          A - D
              lefty          W - S
              
              key('1')       0-9
              key('a')       A-Z keys
              key('enter')   All the Windows function keys. (lctrl, rctrl, space, backspace, etc...)
              key('numpad1') 0-9 Right numpad keys
              key('+')       Numpad operations (+, -, *, /)
              
              key('lbutton') Mouse keys (mbutton, rbutton, xbutton1, xbutton2)
              
              get_var('variable')   ... for script.

                Sorry but for me is really unclear.
                What should i have to write?
                Controller field is a single line field.
                So eventually i can insert only a row of what you have write above.
                I paste "rightx Left - right arrows" in the controller field, press the play button and press left and right arrow but nothing happen.
                Of course is my fault.
                But could you gave mme an example step by step of using a piston joint?

                        Great news, Anton. Short question: I want this Topic not bloat with simple examples and tests. Should I better open a new topic as entitled "MSPhysics examples and tests"?

                        Yes, I can see that you already did. However because there aren't many tutorials on how to use MSPhysics and because its generally not done, the topic could be quite empty for a while, but don't worry once the project is done, I'm gonna help you fill it in.

                        Yep, I'm planning to put in all the feature of SketchyPhysics and more.

                          Thanks PituPhysics, now I can move my objects.
                          Still some doubts about parameters (like controller and min-max position)
                          But it start to be clearer

                                  Usefully new options, functions and joints!
                                  What is meant with the Sliders Control Panel? A control panel for the slider joint in MSPhysics UI or a Joint Controller Panel with slider input similar to SP (couldn't find it...)?

                                    Faust, the control panel displays only when necessary, that is when there are actually slider controllers. The control panel will display in the lower-right corner when simulation is started. Here is an example that uses a slider controllers.


                                    Arrow keys to drive and slider to raise suspension.
