[Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024

Edson

Since I installed Sketchup 2024 I keep getting a message to the effect that ClothWorks has to be updated to run on it. Could you possibly do it? Thanks.

I have just upgraded to Sketchup 2024 and Clothworks plugin will not load. I get the following error messages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin.

Its not yet compatible with SketchUp 2024. The developer is aware and plans a release ASAP

@dbrazina

The error relates to

File.exists?()

this method was deprecated long ago and replaced with

File.exist?()

which is grammatically incorrect in English, but hey Ruby is international !
The older version had worked for many years 'in tandem', but it's now been removed from the newest Ruby version which ships with v2024.
So this now breaks older scripts that still include it...

It's relatively easy to fix - I found 2 instances that needed fixing in the various SketchUcation tools scripts when I was preparing them for this current version !

Another issue that the ClothWorks developer faces is that his code relies on some functions within some .so/.bundle files for different OSs, so he will need to compile new versions of these for compatibility with v2024's Ruby version...

I hope, it will be updated.

@FlawinneF
Have you got the newest version of the SketchUcation Tools installed ?
It handles the licensing system.
You can also login to you own licenses on this site using the link in the Extensions > SketchUcation submenu... My Licenses at SketchUcation...
https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php
There you can manage all of your licenses...

@TIG thank you, it's activated

@Anton_S Why not fix the problem of the bar remaining active on Mac !!!

if tb.get_last_state == TB_NEVER_SHOWN
  tb.show
else
  tb.restore
end

Anton_S

@FlawinneF Thanks for that tip. I never knew about the get_last_state or restore. Will utilize in next release

TIG

@Anton_S
I use this usually

tb.show if tb.get_last_state.abs == 1 # TB_VISIBLE/NEVER

Has the same result...

Version 1.8.0 released.

@Anton_S Hello, Mr. Anton. I don't know when you will initiate the redevelopment of MSPhysics. As far as I know, countless people are looking forward to this project. Alternatively, you can develop a plugin that can partially implement certain functions.
For example, a simulation tool that can implement simulation functions similar to fusion360 and SolidWorks may not require embedding a physics engine (I'm not sure), but only adding axes and motors, as well as collision detection. Used for designing machinery, mechanical gif diagrams, and checking the rationality of mechanical design in sketchup. I hope to receive your reply.

ClothWorks is amazing
I still use MSPhysics because nothing else is as good at what it does
Can you supply me with code to

turn layers on and off
hide/unhide objects
for me to use with my variables, keydown,, ontouch and ontick events in my MSPhysics scripts
old msphysics video example here...
