Edson,

Try reducing thickness, to 2 mm. This may improve performance. When simulating curtains, you need to apply an equilateral grid and have self-collision turned on.

Also, it looks like gravity is too high. Same could apply to viscosity.

I will create a tutorial for curtains with never CW upon releasing the next version.

@Philw, as Dave R mentions, you need to update to the latest version of SketchUcationTools:

1. Download the SketchUcationTools RBZ from: https://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download
2. Open SketchUp 2019
3. Select (Menu) Window -> Extension Manager
4. Click Install Extension button
5. Select the downloaded RBZ file
6. Restart SketchUp

@jo-ke Did you use the extension manager to install ClothWorks? If not, install ClothWorks RBZ via the Extension Manager (and also SketchUcationTools if desired for licensing):

1. Open SketchUp 2019
2. Select (Menu) Window -> Extension Manager
3. Click Install Extension button
4. Select the downloaded RBZ file
5. Restart SketchUp

Let me know if this works.

Does clothworks is supposed to work in Sketchup 2019 ?

I wanted to reenter my serial and got an error :

SCFlicence not supported : missing Library file

Thanks !

Yes, ClothWorks 1.5.2 is compatible with SketchUp 2019. As Dave R pointed out, you need to install the latest version of SketchUcation Tools: https://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download

Hello John,

I sent you an email with your license attached.

Thanks,
Anton

Hello Ash Henderson,

You are not messing anything up. Forces from the fixed joints are indeed incorrect. This is a bug in MSPhysics and I will fix it on the next release.

Thanks,
Anton

Hello swissmountain,

Thank you for your suggestions. The rotatable gizmo is something that I already added and this is yet to be released. Stay tuned!

Thanks,
Anton

Hello Vanina,

I reset your license seats at the server side. If you click on the Seats... button, within the licensing dialog, the correct value should be reflected. If not, delete the SCFLicenseSignature - DO NOT MODIFY OR DELETE.txt and activate the license again.

Thank you,
Anton

Once you download the plugin, it will work without license but with limited features. Licensing unlocks all the features. The cost of a license is 10 USD for premium and 15 USD for standard members. When you access the (Menu) Extension->ClothWorks->License menu and click on Obtain License... button, this should redirect you to a web-page showing the prices and purchase portal.

Hi. Yes, adaptive grid is the best for irregular shapes. I am currently rewriting the tutorials to match the new functionality.

Set the mass of the body attached to the hinge to 1.0. If the hinge has a parent body, make the mass of the parent body not too different from the mass of the attached body. Joint stiffness is a problem in MSPhysics at the moment.

Latest version is 3.6.0: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ams_Lib.rbz

@khaeid Update to the latest version of AMS Library to rid of the error.

Dude great job!!!

Does MS Physics work with SU 2019?
I get error messages when loading it.

No it doesn't work with 2019 as of yet.

Hi Chris,

I updated SmoothZoom for SU2019 compatibility.

@wordsongoku We sent you an email with your license file attached.

tecnozati,

Yeah, the docs do not have enough coding examples. But I intended to fix that someday.

To get the position of a servo joint from a script field, you will first need to know the name/id of the joint, which is displayed in UI when you select the joint. Then you can write the following code:

onStart {
  @j = simulation.find_joint_by_name("569422")
}

onTick {
  # Set desired angle
  if (key(' ') == 1) 
    @j.controller = 100.degrees
  else
    @j.controller = 0
  end
  
  # Get current angle
  simulation.log_line @j.cur_angle.radians
}

You can refer to servo docs for more functionality: https://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/MSPhysics/MSPhysics/Servo

Galvin,

The Tray window structure in SU2018 is as follows:

Provided that you have the handle of the tray, you can then obtain the first two levels of child windows, and then iterate through all windows of that child window to get all the dialogs.

With AMS Library, you can use the following function to get all trays:

trays = AMS;;Sketchup.get_active_dialogs.find_all { |handle|
  AMS;;Window.get_class_name(handle) =~ /Afx;MiniFrame/i
}

# => [133134]

Then once you have the trays, you can get the first two levels of child windows:

trays.each { |tray|
  c1 = AMS;;Window.get_related(tray, 5) # GW_CHILD
  next unless c1
  c2 = AMS;;Window.get_related(c1, 5) # GW_CHILD
  next unless c2
  dialogs = AMS;;Window.get_child_windows(c2, false, false)
  panes = dialogs.find_all { |dialog|
    AMS;;Window.get_class_name(dialog) =~ /CPanelHeader/i
  }
  panes.each { |pane|
    # First child window contains pane caption
    c3 = AMS;;Window.get_related(pane, 5) # GW_CHILD
    next unless c3
    puts AMS;;Window.get_caption(c3)
  }
}

# => Layers
# => Shadows
# => Fog
# => Materials
# => Soften Edges
# => Styles
# => Entity Info

Note that this will not work with sketchup versions prior to 14.

Thanks for letting me know. I sort of intend to rewrite MSPhysics over simply recompiling the libraries, which should take a while.
