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.

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

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.

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.

faust07

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!

PituPhysics

Gears each plugin to do it the same way. Select all the teeth, 'Shape' -> 'Convex Hull'
One of them with a motor to another in a hinge.

faust07

Regarding animation export: the image format selection and the export work very well - super! A small improvement would be desirable... Setting the start frame in "export animation" - "export settings" works neither as choice of the beginning point of exporting the recorded simulation nor as frame number in the filename. No matter what you type in, both start at zero.
And to stop an export before end is nearly not possible...

About Sketchy Physics
If anyone want to help.
Since one week I'm trying to install the "SketchyPhysics" in my laptop with WIN 10 and. 64x
But, I can not to.
Any try is losed. I have try any method. In "Reference---> Extensions" I can see it but it doesn;t work. Its bar does not disapear.
Can anyone help me to how to download with right way?

firedrake

is there any way to use this with a 64 bit system, im using a mac and its only available in 64 bit

faust07

SketchyPhysics works only on 32 bit systems. No way to port it.
Please try MSPhysics by plugin author Anton S.
Search for MSPhysics under Board index - Plugins.

Hello.
In MSPhysics, you can stop motion and freeze the scene.
After pressing the STOP button, the figures remain in their places and do not return to their original positions.
This is very convenient if you want to find the position of the object after its movement.
Does it make it possible to make such a "freeze" button in SketchyPhysics?
The "freeze" button is a stop button2 (End simulation without re setting positions nor erasions emitted bodies).

faust07

I'm not sure if anyone is developing SketchyPhysics any further. But if I remember correctly, you can achieve the same result by pausing the simulation and saving a copy of the model during the pause. The state of the model is then frozen in this copy.

Hello.
How to change settings for ( corkscrew joint ).
Thanks!

QUESTION: How small can an object be before sketchyphysics no longer recognizes it as accurate or active, etc? I made a model and when I scale it down things do not move anymore. I even changed the densities etc but they need really high densities to, for example, drop. That makes everything very heavy.

So, it seems as if light object (say if I were to model a ping pong ball at 1/8th scale[example]), the physics are no longer accurate or at times even work.

Just need to know what those limits are so maybe I can model things larger, then scale them afterwards, knowing they will work still. Thank you very much!

HI Chris, I would like to know how to program the AND function in the representation of the automation as an attachment. This is a paper cutter which should only cut a sheet if the operator's two hands are busy pressing the two buttons <<a>> AND <<b>> at the same time.
With :

Servo29773 to raise or lower the operator's right hand.
Piston 19574 to press one or two buttons depending on the position of the operator's right arm.

Thank you very much . Good year !
Jean-Luc
