        Not sure what the first problem is. Are you sure you are using SP3RC1 or SP3x?

        The install problem is because Sketchup is still running somewhere. Use the task manager to kill it and then try again.

          I am using SP3x Apr2 (I think it is the latest version). And I'm going to try it again without SU running. Thank you for helping me. ๐Ÿ˜„

              No idea. Every model you try has the same error?

                Yeah... I can make my own SP models or download them, but it still isn't working.

                  only thing i can think of is uninstall sketchup and sketchyphysics completely and reinstall them then. My SP was playing up before my laptop broke down recently but once i got it back and reinstalled it all cos it all got wiped it was fine. Might of been the laptop causing SP to play up though

                    I don't think it was the laptop. I've had the problem javixp's having, the only way to fix it is to reinstall sketchup and sketchyphysics.

                      Are you running Vista by any chance?

                        No, I am running XP SP3.
                        And, I think I will reinstall SU and SP then... But, Hobbnob's tank doesn't work (it gives me that problem) and when I am modeling something on SketchyPhysics it works fine.

                          I had the problem in Alpha 2, the thing i did was wipe my computer free of all operating systems, everything, and reinstalled EVERYTHING and then a Virus Scan and it worked fine. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                              My guess is it is a conflict with some other plugin. What else do you have installed.

                                  Ok there very well may be a conflict in there somewhere. Can you remove everything but SP and see if it works?

                                    I did it and it looks like SP isn't installed... I'll reinstall it. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                      That would do it. ๐Ÿ˜„ Make sure the installer is pointed to the right path.

                                        Oh, what I did was copy and paste to other folders the .rb files (exluding the SketchyPhysics ones)... I am going to install it again. (Oh, and try to download Hobbnob's latest tank, it is the model I can't run).

                                          Yeah, the installer is pointed right, but SP doesn't load now. Look at the attachemented picture.

                                            You have a seriously hosed install somehow. The function (file_loaded?) is part of Sketchup. If that isnt working nothing else will.

                                            I would suggest that you rename your google sketchup directory. Reinstall Sketchup then install SketchyPhysics using the installer. If that doesn't work then there must be a problem with your system.
