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.

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 can't download MSPhysics 0.9.7 plugin from your link!

Emersonvip · 11 Nov 2016, 20:20

First of all thanks for sharing this great plugin
Please I need help. with chains.

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."

Hi Anton and thanks for MSPhysics your done a great job so far congratulations.
only problem for me is new MS scripts are confusing....old sketcky user
waiting on more models with script examples in them.

Scaled down my j-pod/cable car model from Eneroth Railroad plugin

Curvy piston joint testing

thx again

The same here - Orbit doesn't work during simulation. Zooming in and out works.

Yes, For me also don't works the Middle click in 0.9.5+

Anton_S · 14 Nov 2016, 04:13

Hi,

Oxer, I fixed the loading issue on Mac OS X.
Cristyan, Faust07, PituPhysics the orbiting issue should be fixed new.

Please upgrade to 0.9.8.

Thanks y'all for reporting!

Anton

Oxer · 14 Nov 2016, 20:28

Thanks!!
All works fine right now on Mac.

Hi Anton

Please, please could you help me.

Firstly thanks for making it possible for us all to have this plugin. I really appreciate your work.

I have one little problem which I am sure is easily remedied. In my models the groups or components are falling through each (like in the following post) a lot of the time.

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61%26amp;t=64189

I need to change a setting somewhere I guess but I have no idea which. I hope I haven't missed something obvious, I have tried looking for the solution online without success and I have tried systematically changing setting also without success.

Many thanks once again.

DonDeEs · 17 Nov 2016, 09:29

Hi Anton

Is there a way I can tidy up the collision wireframe for Compound from CD shapes in the UI. Both the rack and the pinion I have drawn are not getting a very good collision detection wireframe so the gears are jumping out of the rack.

I have checked the geometry in the models and they appear to be sound so I am assuming this is related to the way the wireframe is generated/calculated.

Thanks again for this great plug in.
