      Yes, there is a way to make SP compatible with SketchUp 64bit. I might work on it when I have time.

        No stress please. Time will tell. SketchyPhysics 32-bit is on a high level and works very well thanks to your improvements and bug fixes. MSPhysics has reached similar an higher levels and is a powerful simulation tool. Thanks again!

            Hi firedrake this might help u along all your multiple versions of su need to be 32bit only

            and in profile i noticed your a mac user try d/l SketchyPhysics 3.7.3 version a lot bugs have been fixed

            How to install:
            Mac: /Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup #/Sketchup/plugins

            (On a Mac, make sure that the contents of the SketchyPhysics folder you got out of the downloaded zip are in the Plugins folder itself, NOT in a SketchyPhysics folder within the Plugins folder.)

            hope it helps
            Tez

                    Unfortunately, the plugin doesn't seem to be compatible for SketchUp 2026. Every time I load it, I get these errors:

                      @Joeyinsully Sketch Physics hasn't been updated in over ten years. It hasn't worked in newer versions of SketchUp for years so it's not surprising that it doesn't work in SketchUp 2026.

                        Sketch Physics hasn't been updated in over ten years

                        Is that open source? Maybe in that case it can be updated to fit the new ruby/API rules?

                          We have chatted with Anton about it and it is a huge undertaking.

                          He is focussing on his career currently. I'll try raising the topic again.
