        Always funny for makes some random landscape of elements but...
        How export the resultant position of the animation ? The "Pause" position !
        In the past "Save as" was sufficient!
        Now "Save as" save the "Start position" ! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

        Not practical for make cool image! ๐Ÿ˜‰

          ugh what?

          If you don't want to save camera you can simply set 'Animate Camera' to 'No' (when exporting animation).

              1 Enable recording
              2 Start simulation
              3 Reset simulation at desired time. It will ask you to save animation. Press YES.
              4 Then use the replay tool to get yourself to the desired frame.
              After you do so, press the replay button once again to pause and the objects will be left in their new positions.

              must add 4 : first rewind with the replay tool button!

              Yes thx that is that! โ˜€
              At this end I save as V6 for example for using plugins not adapted at the 2014! ๐Ÿค“

                It's ok for LightUp during the "Sketchy Replay" animation ! ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ‘
                Not during the Toggle Play "Sketchy Physics" but no problem as the "Replay" works fine! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                ok LightUp.jpg

                  Great! Lets wait for a response from Werner, and I'll make it an official release if everything goes well.

                        Okay, I downloaded Skindigo, and can reproduce the effect. I looked into source and found some inconsistency. I will upload a fix in few minutes.

                          Okay, I reverted some replay changes. Please test with LightUp and Skindigo. Tell me how it goes.

                            Okay, I fixed it. Although current version of Indigo has a little bug.
                            Keep in mind SkIndigo 3.6.28.3 has a little bug. Please follow these steps to fix it:

                            1. Open Plugins/skindigo/AnimationExport.rb.
                            2. Scroll down to line 369 and replace mb.build_active_mesh(ents) with mb.build_active_mesh(ents, {})
                            3. Save file and you're good to go.
                              I reported an error to SkIndigo support.

                            Download latest version from top.

                            I also finished a little SP script reference doc : http://sketchyphysics.wikia.com/wiki/Script_Overview

                              I've searched for that line in the current version 3.8.9.1 but the line (406) is marked as a comment...

                                I was speaking of 3.6.28.3 (as it shows up on SkIndigo website), but downloading the latest version 3.8.9.1 I find there a different bug, even if I try exporting from old SP versions. These guys need to test things before they upload it...

                                I will send an error message to them for this version as well. Yet, I can't fix it, as there are too much errors. Use version 3.6.28.3 with the fix I provided in the first post. Otherwise, you'll have to wait till they fix it.

                                  Hi,

                                  As Pilou says, the playback works, but running the Physics while in LightUp no longer works which is a pity.

                                  Its not that LU is not picking up the changes in transforms - its that SP appears to terminate TourTool now - whereas before it didn't touch the current selected Tool.

                                  Does that ring any bells in the changes you've made recently?

                                  Adam

                                    You're a genius, Anton! You should consider collaborating with the guys from Indigo/Skindigo ๐Ÿ˜„

                                      @Adam All SketchyPhysics3 versions used a select_tool when simulation start, which terminates all other running tools. If you don't think so, you can download SP3.2 (the official release) on SU8 for instance and see it yourself. Start lightup and press physics toggle play button. LightUp will reset...

                                      Use SP Replay as it was made for such purpose, I think. I don't know why you were assuming SP toggle play button worked with LightUp as it never worked with any versions of SP3. Maybe because SP1 or SP2 worked that way, I don't know.

                                      Edit: Mayby I'm starting LightUp wrong, or I have to do it the other way around. If so, please explain how.

                                        First of all I want to thank you, Anton, for this great update! Finally someone who takes care of this awesome plugin. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                        I don't remember if previous versions of SP also showed this behaviour: Positive values for the blue axis (e.g. a piston slider) move things down, in negative direction, whereas positiv values for the green or red axis move things in positiv direction. This irritates me. A bug?

                                        The other issue I want to address are units. I always use metric units but SP converts them in imperial. For instance, when I position a piston and give it a length of 100 mm (by typing 100 a hitting enter while drawing) the UI max box shows a value of 3.93... which are inches. When I type 100 into the max field, the piston moves 100 inches, not millimeter. I would appreciate it a lot if SP used the units as set in the model settings window. Actually all boxes in the UI should be labeled with the unit expected (the unit set in the model settings). For example, what's the unit of density? What's the angle unit? Radian or degree? And Strength? This would make things a lot easier.

                                          I can't change it because it could break compatibility with prior models, but I can make it to evaluate everything in the control box. For example, if you write 100mm it will turn it to 3.93.

                                          Hinge min max values are in degrees. Density and strength is undetermined, it very complicated as SP bases everything on world scale. The default world scale is 9. This means all objects are assumed 9 times bigger or smaller (i cant recall), which as of results yields different volume, and mass. The volume is assumed in inches, thus the mass should be in volume_in_inches*density, where density depends on user input. Stuff are relative in SP.
