SketchyPhysics 3.7.4

Are there any plans for a 64-bit version of this tool?

I have SU 64-bit so I cannot use this extension

A lot of people keep an older 32-bit version installed in parallel (e.g. SU 2014) to the currrent one. You can model in 2015 and save as 2014 to animate it with SketchyPhysics there.

Good idea. I still have 2014 installed. Kind of a DUH moment for me

I have 2013,2014 and 2015 lol.. 2014 seems better to play with SP, I don't have the 32bit 2015 but I found 2013 started to really struggle

Its great fun JQL and a welcome distraction for me

Calmly to use the SU 32-bit, in 64-bit Win. It is as if the previous versions using it. Just did not become the icon of thumbnails. Probably there will be no 64-bit edition.

Anton Synytsia created a new plugin. The name is MSPhysics, it is now compatible with 64-bit SketchUp, however, is still under development. Link: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=56852

Is there a user guide in English?

Do I have to code actions? Can I apply the physics to my existing model? How does this compare to using a tool like Keyframe Animation or Simfonia?

If you click on the toolbar / settings button, there you will find 3 link: SketchUp API, Ruby core and Sketchy Wiki. You can learn from these as well.
The blue fields, onTouch, onclick, Script box to write the code. I recommend the latter.

Well, there is not a lot of description. I'm going to make more another intro videos on my YouTube channel:

Although there is enough old models SP 3.2, it is not certain that all of them will work but worth a try.

Nice work with this, Pitu! I really like how you implemented the ACE editor and did a well job with styling.

Thank you, Anton. Just a pity that does not work with Ctrl+C function in editor. The SU 13 comes up a window with a javascript error.

These tried:

src-min-noconflict
src-min
src
<div editor
<textarea editor

But even trying.

To fix that message, in settings_ui.html, replace
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge, chrome=1" />
with
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" />

Here is an optional command to add. I don't recall what it does, but you can read about it on web.
<meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes" />

Wow... really, I rewrite the "IE=edge, chrome=1" to "IE=10" and now work perfectly. I thought it was much more serious the error.
The MSThemeCompatible not necessary: http://www.metatags.info/meta_http_equiv_msthemecompatible

Thanks Anton, coming soon the next version.

A small question or idea to improve the handling of Physics Simulations after crash and bug splat. Would it be feasible to incorporate a function to start the simulation with a freely selected physics frame number, so how one can do it with Twilight Renderer in the animation presets?

PituPhysics

Hi faust07. Try this: http://twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=215

faust07

Oh sorry, I have my question not properly formulated. It relates to the direct animation output in SketchUp. My thought is, like in the animation editor of Twilight, to start the Physics simulation from a specific frame or time and stop after a specified margin. That would be very helpful for complex simulations, large models ore extravagant stiles do not have to be fully passed through to a required point or frame. Similar to Twilight renderer, the routine could internal count through, for example, to the frame 1200 and then begins with the complete image output for the Physics model situation at that point.

faust07

Another presumptuous question ... Is it feasible to expand "Animation Export" in "Sketchy Replay" with an input function, so that freely selected image formats can be exported, not just the current viewport size? - Such as it now is possible in MS-Physics.

Hello Faust. I could not solve, I asked Anton...

SP 3.5, the unofficial release, comes with many bug fixes

SketchyPhysics 3.7.1

SketchyPhysics 3.7.1 Release date: December 23, 2015. Copyright 2009-2016, Chris Phillips

It remains just for 32-bit SketchUp to use.

I'm a bit confused...

V.3.2 was the last one from Chris Phillips, now stopped?
Than a new branch named "3.5.x" was started? By Anton_S ?
Then a NEW branch named "3.7.x" was started? By PituPhysics? Or this is the continuation of 3.5?!?

What does "It remains just for 32-bit SketchUp to use" mean? That a 64-bit version exists?

3.5.x branch.
3.7.x branch

PituPhysics

Faust07!

Anton created a new 'sketchy_replay.rb' file. Now you can freely adjust the image size.
I created a .exe integrator. It's work in SU14 or newer.

Download from webpage or this link.

jumpjack!

The first time Anton further developed the original SP 3.2 from Chris Phillips.(3.3.0 - 3.5.6)
Then I further developed.(3.6.0 - 3.7.1) I no longer making several editions.

64-bit SketchUp is not supported. Use the MSPhysics, it is much more advanced, although still under development. But it works flawlessly.

That's great! I will test it this evening. Thanks so much, Anton and Pitu!

Thanks, now it's clear.
But then SP is no more being developed by anyone?

Which one is the best to simulate mechanisms? SP or MS? For example, to build two gears which move together in sync. I find very uncomfortable SP in this (at least in old versions), when I had to set up by hand each single tooth!
