Problem running models from warehouse

[bobb]

I'm trying to run the physics simulations found on google warehouse, but whenever I download one and place it at the origo and press play nothing happens expect that the model falls down. I've seen videos of the models that I'm trying to run on youtube so I know they should be doing other things than just falling.
When I start a simulation a get an empty blue box called "SketchyPhysics Control Panel" and another called "Physics Inspector". I've tried changing some values in Physics Inspector but it doesn't seem to start the simulation, all I can do is move the objects around on the floor. An example of a model I've tried to run is "Robot MoveMaster Simulated Using SketchyPhysics".

You cant insert the models directly into Sketchup. Use your web browser to view the 3dwarehouse models and launch them directly from there.

If you do insert a model I think if can explode it before you press run and it might work.
