Physics simulator

Are still SketchyPhysics and MSPhysics the only available plugins for physics simulation? They don't work on 64 bit versions of SU.
Any alternative solution for free?

No, we are trying to get MSPhysics updated but it won't be for a bit yet.

That is great news. Would it be possible to say its likly to happen this year or is it further in the future ??

could chatgpt automatically turn a 32 bit .rb source into 64 bit?

I asked it how to lose weight and it beat me up and took my shoes

I asked it because I often use chatGPT for coding, amd it's quite good. If it can convert from one language to another(example, python to javascript), maybe it can also convert from one language to same language but 64bit.

But I've just noticed that MSPhysics is made of multiple .rb files, so this could be harder than I thougth.

No, there's Sketchucation Tools 4.4, the main site upgrade before we get Anton in a headlock and see if he's up for migrating this to newer SketchUp builds.

It's not a simple overhaul with a few lines to make it work. It's a major undertaking. Plus, there's probably as strong need to dump legacy support. Similar to what you see with Fredo's stuff.

@Rich-O-Brien Any chances to get updated MSPhysics for SketchUp 2024 in this year?

Rich O Brien · 21 May 2024, 10:18

@JitendraG I would hope so. I did speak with Anton a few weeks ago to get Clothworks and Fullscreen sorted for 2024.

Physics is not as quick to revive because it is a complete rewrite to make it compatible. He also has a fulltime job and life to contend with.

very interested in this plugin for sketchup 2024 +

Hello @Rich-O-Brien et all
Any news or updates from Anton about the physics simulator? Been waiting and hoping for some years now. Pretty please?
