Trouble with SketchyPhysics 3.2 (installs as 3.1)

thomas3120

Hello,
I have installed SketchUp v.8 and SketchyPhysics v.3.1 (although download says 3.2).
When I try and make a hinge on 2 objects I get and error saying to download SketchyPhysics 3.2. It then zooms waaaay out, a small blue window appears that flickers.
Was wondering if I may have downloaded an older version of SP, or something else...?

first of all, please tell me how do you get the error(in a dialog box or in form of text on Sketchup screen).
As far as i know ,you must have not installed the thing properly or you must have clicked on the sketchyphysics ui
without a group seleted.

Same thing here, downloaded v 3.2 and have 3.1 installed error message is in green print in the top left corner of the screen.

Any solutions welcome...

3.2 is the version actually installed. The 3.1 is just an oversight in the setup script.

Hi. In my case I install last version, SetupSketchyPhysics3.2-Dec2 and still show 3.1 version. And crash sometime with no reason, but in most cases crash when I click on blue window during simulation, if I not touch this blue window it work but no for long time.

In most cases I dont get any error it just freeze and must stop app from task manager, but sometime I get this error.

I run SKP 8, win xp sp3

So is this project abandoned? What's going on here? Btw, do you mean by an oversight that it was not fixed?

I believe that Chris Phillips is working on a new maintenance release. While it presently has its issues it still is too cool for school even as is.
