      When I try to put any of that coding in the light blue box areas, the UI crashes

      That is Weird

      Are you sure you don't have an old computer? On my old Windows 98, my UI and SU always crashed. 😲

        Not an OLD pc. 3.07 ghz cpu. 2 gigs ram, 512 mb nvidea video card. Windows XP

        I'm wondering if I need the paid for version of SU, with ruby and all that? SU stays running, it's that if I put in something wrong (blueish text area?), the UI doesn't fully open properly again.

          Ask Chris Phillips. He is the creator of SP and should know.

            I have Pro, but you don't need Pro, ruby is included in free. Window>Ruby console.

              I've had that problem to. if you save the file and go back into it is the script still there. Did you click on the group you put the script in again. Also i have free I don't see why you would need pro.

                No idea as I have not saved when UI isn't taking the input or working. I know I'm putting the code or whatever in the wrong area, or checking the wrong thing....Just need a screenshot or two of successful magnets of the inspector so can compare

                    My hero....lol! Awesome.

                    I'm wondering if I am missing a plug in for the tool bar? I just reposted the question, rephrased it, new thread. I have no idea what is missing. I have downloaded and tried to mimic examples off 3d warehouse with no luck

                      Here it is. The red box is magnetic, and the selected has the code in the correct field

                        I duplicated what you showed physicsguy...nothing worked. When I tried to go back into the UI, this is what I got


                        UI messed up...

                          I think that has happened to me before. I usually had to quit sketchup and reopen it

                            Well it happens every time when I try to put anything in the UI. I've restarted SU so many times today. If I had a dollar for each time,..well you get the idea. I'm closing it out, retrying over and over. Getting frustrated.

                              I think the problem is you don't have a file for the UI. re-download sketchyphysics. If that doesn't work then you will have to contact Chris Phillips for help.

                                I have been able to copy and paste a couple examples from the 3d warehouse into my project, and that has given me a starting point for now. Thank you for all your help physicsguy, and everyone else! I wrote to C Phillips earlier and awaiting to hear back from them.

                                  What do you mean by "UI crashed"? Give the exact steps you use to make that happen.

                                  It sounds like you might have a hosed install or something. Try reinstalling. If that doesnt work to the menu Window->Ruby console. Once you see the console reproduce the bug then cut and paste the contents and send them to me and I will see if I can see what is happening.

                                    Now working. Although at a newbie level, I have gotten a couple examples to work now. Thank you everyone for the help!
