MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)
-
On the GitHub page there is an upadated version that works for SU 2022, SU 2023, and even SU 2024 (with a slight modification).

@FlorinAp:
Is this a joke? I can't find anything like this on GitHub. Is there a link? -
Maybe on your GitHub is not, but on the GitHub from Earth it is.!

Tested it in SketchUp 2022
Doesn't work with complex MSPhysics models, as Anton already noted in 2019.AntonSynytsia on GitHub, Apr 26, 2019 (Owner):
"Yes, the repository is compatible with SU2019 but this is a development version and has a number instability issues, multi-threading and joints in particular. I am planning to fix these issues before releasing a 2019 compatible version." -
Nevertheless, many thanks to the guys who adapted MSPhysics to the new SketchUp versions.
Since the MSPhysics plugin is very complex, I can understand that some components no longer work 100%.
However, it's a good tool for getting started with physics for SketchUp.
Batching simple physics simulations doesn't seem to be a problem with the adapted version.
Slightly more complex models from version 1.0.3 crash either immediately or during the simulation without an error message.
I also noticed that you can no longer set the world scale in the UI. This menu item is missing.
The Control Panel is not displayed correctly during simulations.
It would be good to know which conventions, commands, or physics properties have changed due to the newer SketchUp Rubi API or other system updates.
These probably also affect the scripts programmed in MSP.
It's a shame that AntonS hasn't continued to develop it.
For SketchUp 2017, it's still an incredibly well-thought-out and functional physics plugin. -
@faust07 Man, you should read all those discussion posts on GitHub, they are very helpful in finding more solutions.
I never used this extension, so i can't speak from my own experience what it can and can not do in either version.
Also, I've seen a YouTube video once (on the "TutorialUp" channel), and this extension was working very well in SU 2018, i mean the same as in SU 2017...
