[Plugin] AMS Library 3.7.1b (29 May 2021)

Anton_S

@Perroloco2000 give me a list of plugins your using, a list of shortcuts (Preferences->Shortcuts->Export...), sketchup version, sketchup localization (en, fr, or whatever) and windows version so that I could attempt to reproduce the crash and pin it down on my own machine.

perroloco2000

SketchUp Make 2016 16.1.1449 64-bits (spanish). Windows 10 Home 1511 (10586.164)
I have a fresh install of windows 10 (last version) and SketchUp (last version). I still haven´t other plugins, and didn´t modify default shortcuts.
I installed AMS Library 3.2.1. (all works)
I installed AMS Window Settings 4.2.0. all functions works but when I hide menu bar the crash come. Thanks

Anton_S

Ok I am able to reproduce it with Spanish localization. I even get frozen strings errors, which I have no idea what's causing them and how to prevent them. I will look into into it and do my best to fix it.

Anton_S

Hi perecollo2000. Try the new version. I think it should be fixed now.

perroloco2000

Forgive me but I'm a newb who can barely work his way through/around Extensions.

I'm unable to get the MSphysics to load/run. It is registered under Plugins but I receive the following message when I open Sketchup2016. I've tried copying/pasting the "main.rb" file into every imaginable Plugin folder but it still fails to see/find the file.?

(I installed the AMS Library v3.2.2 AFTER I installed the MSphysics extension but the order of installation shouldn't matter, correct?)

I'm running Win8 via Parallels, SU2016.

Error message

Folder showing MAIN.RB file in MSPhysics folder

Anton_S

Pnickles, you got it into the correct plugins folder, but placed the content improperly.
I suggest deleteding whatever you placed in the plugins folder manually (including MSPhysics which is placed improperly based on your screenshot) and starting over with the following instructions. Download ams_Lib_3.2.2.zip, extract it, and place ams_Lib folder and ams_Lib.rb file into the plugins folder. Same applies to MSPhysics_0.5.0.zip. It should look something like this:

Different error messages now. See attached. Perhaps it's because I'm running Win8 via Parallels?

Are there how to use instructions somewhere?

Anton_S

Bryan, in case you're wondering if it's a plugin, well it's not. AMS library is more of a dependency for a few of my other plugins.

How to get the version number?

AMS.ver ?

Anton_S

Use AMS::Lib::VERSION It returns a string like "3.3.0".

Thanks Anton, but what I'm looking for is how to use it. It's installed without a problem but I need some kind of instructions or tutorial on how to use the controls.

Thanks.

Anton_S

The first post contains a link to the library's documentation. I not particularly sure if that's what you desire though.

Bryan K

Anton, thanks. I found some great video tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/user/samketner/videos?sort=dd%26amp;view=0%26amp;shelf_id=0

My new problem is that the UI menu is not displaying correctly nor or the contents.. There are no tabs and the menu window is not resizable so I cannot access the contents at the bottom of the screen.

Here is a screen shot.

Any ideas?

I keep getting this error. What is happening?

Anton_S

Hmm. I'm not getting any errors in my SU8. Are you using the latest versions of both plugins? If not, try completely removing both and installing once again.

Edit: Actually I'm getting a similar error when I attempt to start MSPhysics simulation in SU8. I haven't been able to determine the cause, so try sticking to SU2013+.

Edit: I will ensure the compatibility with SU version prior to 2013 at some point.

Anton:
I removed all the files as per instruction. Defragged the HD. then reloaded SU8 . I have a video of what happens.
Watch and see. then Tell me what I did wrong.

Sorry, I forgot to test it on Windows XP. It should be fixed now. Upgrade to AMS Library, version 3.5.2.

GalvinHRO

with the AMS library i can get the name of the default tray but not the object itself or the child dialogs like "Materials" or "Entity Info" anybody knows if this feature exist or a workaround. If not is it possible to make one with the win32API?

Thanks
