      After at first posting this in the wrong section- here my post:

      Good morning sketchucation!

      Once more i hope you can help me out.

      For testing an option for a facade i'd like to place some shutters all around the building- and then see how it changes the shape when i move the sliders.

      Now, my problem is, that (as you may see in my attached file)

      1. hinge is fixed, so how to get it moving with the shutter
      2. i don't know how to set it all up correctly or which tools i should use to make it slide on a track so that it folds up or closes the window.
      3. place this object in a model and a scene and not everything falling down to nowhere.. πŸ˜‰ (maybe this is not possible..)

      I hope you understand what i mean- thanks in advance-

        Hello!

        I think I figured out the problems with your model.

        Its hard to explain so just download the file, and so by yourself. πŸ˜„

        The one to left is open by pressing the "W" key.
        And the one to right is open by the hand tool in the Simulation.

          Sorry, i was off till today..

          Thank you very much! But i cannot really try it because (as in other SP-files too) i get the error message containing

          ...ClassExtensions.rb:59:in

          what does that mean- sth. missing?

            Does it help to reinstall SketchyPhysics?
            http://sketchyphysics2.googlecode.com/files/SetupSketchyPhysics3x-Jun27.exe: download-link.

            Or just replace the ClassExtentions.rb file:
            ClassExtensions.rb

            in the folder: C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\SketchyPhysics3 (I have Win7).

            Hope you get it to work!
