SketchyPhysics2 Beta1

CPhillips

SketchyPhysics2 is here at last. At least in beta form. It probably has lots of bugs. And the documentation is minimal. So try at own risk.

New Features
-New UI makes editing joints much easier
-Four new joint types, servo, piston, motor and gyro.
-Some joints can now be controlled. Options include UI slider,joystick (ps2 style) and oscillator.
*Three new objects that make building jointed objects much much easier. wheel, door and lift. Try these.
-Joints can now be grouped to make more complex joints. Hinge and piston for example.
-Camera control via page descriptions or right click menu(while running)
-New interactions, Kick a body by double clicking, Copy a body by Ctrl+double click.
-Much larger worlds possible.

I'm having trouble getting sketchyphysics2 to install. I run the .exe file and it installs the plugin directory with all remaining files inside.When i run sketchup none of the sketchyphysics icons appear in the toolbars. Does anyone have any tips.... TX

Maybe the toolbars are turned off. Go to View->Toolbars and make sure the Sketchy ones are checked.

I just wish I could figure out how to connect a damn joint. ALl im trying to do is make a simple linked chain.
EDIT*
well i think i got it, at least i can get a servo to work... But when i connect a hinge in the same way, then test it out for some reason the two pieces go shooting off in some totally unknown direction. Im gonna see if the older version works since i only need a hinge.
EDIT!!!
ZOMG i did it.
