SketchyPhysics3.1

jgb

I can't tell you how happy I am to see SP upgraded.

I've avoided SP for some time because I simply could not climb the learning curve (that's ME, not SP!) then got too busy with too many other things to get back. Still too busy, but in a few weeks I WILL load SP 3.1 and get back to it.

Now a cupla questions based on ...... what Andy1347 said (in part)

*After rebuilding my plug-ins folder, I have determined the culprit causing the conflict is a ruby called 'singleton' in a folder called 'ruby'. As near as I can tell, it is used with Jim Foltz's 'autocenterpoint'.

With that one file removed, SketchyPhysics seems to load and run just fine.*

Is there any logic to the ORDER in which SU loads RUBY scripts?
Does it matter (and in the case above, it seems too)?
Is there any practical way to control loading order, if required?

I get a message: Error Loading File sketchyphysics.rb
undefined method extend_object' for Singleton'

Am I missing any files? Thanks!

That error [undefined methodextend_object' for Singleton'] is from a standard RUBY installation [ singleton.rb] - where it might be called by several other standard modules/classes/methods - BUT as far as I know it has nothing to do with the SketchUp version if Ruby OR SketchyPhysics itself. Do you have other 'Ruby files' loading, that aren't standard Plugin scripts ??

I get the same error.

I suggest you PM CPhillips about it... he's the author

hello,
I want a free software that would allow me to record my video made after SketchyPhysics in order to watch them out of sketchup.
Thank you.

BBFlashback express ?

Ok but for MacOSX. I'm sorry...

Chris, great work on SP. Love it! I hope I am not missing anything prior to writing this. When I click the Win3.2 version, I get the save file dialog with a 3.1 title. After running the installation, my animation tells me, upper left corner, SP 3.2 required. I guess the install isn't taking well, or....? TIA

Any developers working on the SketchyPhysics Project should either update it's status, or mark it as Dead.
The current update rate is not a proffesional way to leave such things.

Does anyone know the current status of SP?

According to Google Code, the source repository no longer exists, so it leaves it nigh on impossible to pick up where Chris left off - if it has indeed been abandoned - Does anyone have a link to an alternative location of the source (preferably a repository) please?

Is there anyone else interested in continuing development of this excellent addition to Sketchup?

Thanks, but that repository only contains documentation, not code. Was the code ever published?

I read that on the page above on the last line

Source code for the plugin is in the install.

I see that now, thank you.

I'd rather hoped to see a history of revisions to understand the rationale behind some of the changes and inclusions, but I'll continue to trawl through the scripts making notes given the lack of inline comments.

Thanks for the sanity check.

I'd love to help in some way with the furtherance of SP but I have only just begun to learn Ruby let alone everything else that is required.

If I can help in any way I will. Personally I think SP could be a commercially viable product with a good polishing - anyone ever see any code for SP4? If its as good as it sounded I would pay for it.

Has Chris totally dropped the SP project now? The whole thing is a testament to Chris' brilliance and I feel I have missed out to have not got seriously involved until now.

I want to be able to build and test bridges that support (and collapse) under load tests. I am really miffed as to where to start. Would you help me get started. I don't know ruby but I'm a little versed in C++. BTW, sketchy physics is really cool. Thanks.
