Hello Anton!
I have installed this plug-in and when started a SU , came a window:

Error Loading File C:/Users/Jenő/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/MSPhysics/main.rb
Error: #<Exception: An exception occurred while loading MSPhysics library. The exception occurred due to one or more of the following reasons:

Contains an accented character.
The extension's coding was updated to fix the user-path encoding to UTF-8, so do you have the latest version installed ?
If so then perhaps Anton needs to make his re-encoding more robust ?

Just installed Sketchup Make 2017 and tried to install MSPhysics 0.9.6 and AMS 3.4.0 and got this error ---

That's unfortunate. Looks like I will need to create another account to ensure that the encoding error is actually not fixed.

M3one · 10 Nov 2016, 22:25

Hi,

I'm want to do a path following object, but I don't really know how. I found on this thread that it's done with curvy joints, but I'm lost. Please, can you explain how or do you have kind of example?

Thanks!

Anton_S · 11 Nov 2016, 05:48

Okay, those loading and encoding issues should be fixed now. Upgrade to 0.9.7.

Anton_S · 11 Nov 2016, 09:27

Hi M3one,

At the moment, you can refer to this tutorial on curvy joints.

You can also check out this example model at 3Dwarehouse.

Thanks Anton that has sorted the loading issue with Sketchup 2017.

Hello !!!
I think most stable version is MSPhysics_0.9.4 for now ... in MSPhysics_0.9.7 "Drag to orbit" does not work when the simulation is runing...
Emersonvip - you can browse through this forum about chains ( http://sketchucation.com/forums/search.php?keywords=chain%26amp;t=56852%26amp;sf=msgonly ). Here you have a file, see how it was done this chain piece by piece and you will understand how MSPhysics it works with chains.
as Anton wrote in a reply "You can adjust Update Timestep, Solver Model, and Update Rate for the desired speed, performance, and stability."
