Hello Anton!
I have installed this plug-in and when started a SU , came a window:

Error Loading File C:/Users/Jenő/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/MSPhysics/main.rb
Error: #<Exception: An exception occurred while loading MSPhysics library. The exception occurred due to one or more of the following reasons:

Contains an accented character.
The extension's coding was updated to fix the user-path encoding to UTF-8, so do you have the latest version installed ?
If so then perhaps Anton needs to make his re-encoding more robust ?

Just installed Sketchup Make 2017 and tried to install MSPhysics 0.9.6 and AMS 3.4.0 and got this error ---

That's unfortunate. Looks like I will need to create another account to ensure that the encoding error is actually not fixed.

Hi,

I'm want to do a path following object, but I don't really know how. I found on this thread that it's done with curvy joints, but I'm lost. Please, can you explain how or do you have kind of example?

Thanks!

Anton_S

Okay, those loading and encoding issues should be fixed now. Upgrade to 0.9.7.

Anton_S

Hi M3one,

At the moment, you can refer to this tutorial on curvy joints.

You can also check out this example model at 3Dwarehouse.

Hello !!!
I think most stable version is MSPhysics_0.9.4 for now ... in MSPhysics_0.9.7 "Drag to orbit" does not work when the simulation is runing...
Emersonvip - you can browse through this forum about chains ( http://sketchucation.com/forums/search.php?keywords=chain%26amp;t=56852%26amp;sf=msgonly ). Here you have a file, see how it was done this chain piece by piece and you will understand how MSPhysics it works with chains.
as Anton wrote in a reply "You can adjust Update Timestep, Solver Model, and Update Rate for the desired speed, performance, and stability."
