Hi,

I tried to add kaybord control on my physified lynx crane but I cannot get it working properly.
It actually works with sliders so, the joint position is given by the slider position so the crane's arm, for example stays in the position set by the slider.

With keybord control it's different and even if I can move the arm with a key, it cannot stay in position when I release the key.

original joints where servo. I tried to use a motor instead but the result is almost the same.

Any idea?

Hi,

I tried to reuse the "Lynx 100Ton mobile crane SP" model I 'physicfied' few months ago. Sketchup crashes everytime I start the simulation.

I tried to remove everything but sketchyphisic from the plugins folder and the problem remains.

Could anyone try the model please and maybe help me to find the problem???

Thanks in advance.

OS: Seven 64 bits
Sketchup 8 Pro
SkechyPhysics 3.1 or 3.2, I don't know, it's always a mystery for me.....

I found the problem, not precisely but it was related to a scene and not to the model.
I did't really understand what caused the bug but it's sure it's not a geometry issue.

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

When I export my model with LumenRT, it fails because it finds a zero length vector !?!

It seems Cleanup cannot find such problem.
How to find it?
Is it possible to improve cleanUp to take it in account?

Incredible,
I cannot understand how we could obtain such result.
Great

There are months now that sketchyphysics 3.2 installs 3.1 !!!

Don't understand this update !?

Very nice.
Could you just remember the settings we choosed, at least per session?
Could you have alook at the fields's parsing orde via tab key?
And why not a "respect aspect ratio checkbox?
And why not automatically add the .png extension which not seems to be the case. In fact if we don't specify extension, the image is not generated.

Wow, will be perfect.... lol

Thanks,
Alain

Hi sdmitch,

Is it possible to expect other kind of head such as Phillips, Torx, countersunk?

Another thing could be to give an entry field for length as screws normally match to standard lentgh. I suppose it would be very difficult to embed lengths table....

Hi,
It seems SectionCutFace is not able to map faces if cutted parts are in different altitude.

Here is the model, I want to cut the top of the walls but all walls extremities are not at the same level.

and here is the result

Hi, I had I think the exact same problem ans solved it clicking on SCALE button in Cotation Style Tab

http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=39874&p=352439#p352439

Oups, I found the button!!!!

I clicked on the SCALE button in Cotation Style Tab and it works!

Thanks Gaieus but even with grid snap off, the problem remains.

I think I have the same problem explained in this threadhttp://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=38513. Unfortunately we don't have the answer.

A point anyway, If I uncheck ORTHO in display tab, dimensioning works but in that case I have a perspective view which is not what I want of course.

So, If i put a dimension in perspective view, the value is correct and as soon as I click back to ORTHO, the value changes to a "drawing" value. !!!!!

Hello,

I have a big problem in sketchup were cotation are done according the drawing scale and not in real dimensions.

In the following image you can see the real dimension of 4,55 I already put in this drawing and the new beahaviour I don't understand which give 0,09.
On the right, the cotation tab tells that dimensions should be given with scale 1:1 and not 1:25 as it seems to be the case.

Any idea???

Arghhhh!!!!!

Stupid guy, it's written in the doc!!!!!

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I just want to open 2 doors.
On first one I added the attribute OnClick Animate(RotZ, 0, 90) --> perfect
On second one I added the attribute OnClick Animate(RotZ, 0, -90) --> problem, the door open but never close. I see the attribute's value changing from 0 to -90 alternatively but the door stay open.

I wasn't able to workaround changing the axes.

Any idea?

Hello,
I'm SPing the Lynx crane http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=efffd66f7e4ea1d8b2dfe239acb387ee&prevstart=0 from Smike.

Almost finished, would be happy to have your opinion also but I would like to know how to manage the hook and it's cable. Static actually.

Ok, seems to be obtained by increasing both Damp and Acceleration.

Hello,

Doc talks about a window supposed to be displayed when I choose joints connection tool, click on the first joint then ctrl-click on the second.
I never seen this window. I suppose it allows to define a gear ratio.
Anyway, joints seem to be connected according to SP inspector but when I enter in simulation, joints make eratic movements.

Any help?
