I cannot download this...the link is dead!!

@Oliver92 MSPhysics will be compatible with 32 and 64 bit SU versions. Although the first version will be limited to Windows OS due to huge reliance on MSFT Windows API.

@TonedF Read a few posts above you.

Fantastic update! The buoyancy plane is interesting.
I couldn't figure out how to record, though. I see the check box in settings but then what?

Well i have found earlier versions around on the internet and i am confused with the version numbering because it already passed v1.0.0 @ 2014-09-01.....

MSPhysics - v0.1.0 (2014-04-26)
MSPhysics - v0.2.0 (2014-06-26)
MSPhysics - v0.2.0 (2015-04-06) ???
MSPhysics - v1.0.0 (2014-09-01)

The animation tool is a work in progress.

My poor planning Wanted to get it all done on particular date, but got lazy and you know..

Does this present version is working for the 2015?

PituPhysics

I do not work in SU 15, if only "static" groups in the model. =(

Anton_S

What do you mean it doesn't work in 2015? It should work just as fine in all SU versions, including the 64bit. Did you download AMS Library as a requirement for MSPhysics?

Yes, I downloaded the AMS. I use a 64-bit Windows but the SU 32-bit, because the SP 3.5.
This could be the problem? Install the 64-bit Sketchup? I try this. I hope it will be good.

Anton_S

Can you tell me what exactly isn't working because it should work on 32/64 bit SU versions just fine. Do you get any errors when you start SU?

Anton_S

Notice, this is 0.2.0 alpha. There are many features that are work in progress and not done yet. The joint tab is one of them.

I'm still skeptical why it didn't work on 32bit. I'll have to see it on my brothers laptop and see what was going on there.

I installed the 64-bit SketchUp. Now it works. This awesome!!!
However, I do not understand the "Joint" box.
There are no Joints. How to use it?

I Mean. The scripts will work the same way as in the SP? I see the "Timer" other kind:


timer=AMS;;C.start_timer(1000, false){
  AMS;;C.stop_timer(timer)
}

... and the "mouse script" will also be available.
But the "Geom :: Transformation" -new, -rotation, -scaling stay the same?

Anton_S

No, scripts are different. The whole API is different. See documentation links under "Body Script" tab. MSPhysics is not related to SP. Its a different project.

The timer is part of AMS Library API. And I advice you to use Timer from Timer module and not from

timer = AMS;;Timer.start(1000, false) {
  AMS;;Timer.stop(timer)
}

Mouse control functions are available as well. See AMS::Cursor
Geom classes are part of SU API. They ALWAYS stay the same and are available without any plugins installed.

Anton_S

I would suggest you to start from start from MSPhysics OVERVIEW documentation tab.

Okay, thanks Anton, I will later study.

Anton_S

And the "mouse script" that is used to look around, turn wheels, and do other stuff can be rewritten to rely on AMS::Cursor functions. To monitor mouse clicks, you can use MSPhysics::Body events, like

onLButtonDown { |x,y|
  ...
}

MSPhysics::Body has plenty of events and functions. You can see them here: MSPhysics::Body

What is the equivalent of these? These are always needed. I read this:

From SPhysics;
simulation.findBody("body_name")
sp_tool_instance.findGroupNamed("body_name")

Here?
simulation.get_body_by_address(address)

The "Game mode" damn good!!

Anton_S

I'll add body by name functions in next alpha release.

PituPhysics

Hello Anton. When I start the SketchUp, 12-13 minutes later crashes and come up the BugSplat.
32 and 64 bit version as well. I tried the original "Sketchup Make" and the original starter .exe file.
If do not start the simulation, you will too.

I see that is available the "get_body_by_name".
How do I hide or visible body or entities? "show_bodies(false)" every group will hide.
