We had so much spam in the Wiki that we had to shut it down to manual registrations.o

Send me you email address, and desired screen name and I will add you as a user.

This is digging up an old thread, but here's a snippet I think should work:

Sweet. I can't imagine how long it took to build.

Thanks Fredo6. Feel free to copy any part of it. 😄

Chris,

That's a very neat job and a damned good idea to enhance interactivity for some plugins requiring options and being context sensitive for actions (The Sketchup tool bar is actually very limited to interact efficiently and the button state management of Sketchup is simply buggy).

I guess this works for Mac too.

As soon as I can, I'll give it a try to regroup some commands of my plugins (Bezier, JPP, OOS, etc...) as it will be easier to show the options.

Fredo

PS: your dialog box is very esthetic. I like very much the design. And if you allow me, I will take some inspiration of it when I try one.

Whaat,
He he 😄
I actually wrote that some minutes before I discovered that thread....
This is a major leap for sketchup to me.
Knowing your amazing coding skills, the subdivision tool will be great I am sure...

Hi, I have the same problem in 2017...Is this going to be fixed?

Here is the test I did...

class TestMiddleButton #Not Working... def onMButtonDown(flags, x, y, view) puts "onMButtonDown; flags = #{flags}" puts " x = #{x}" puts " y = #{y}" puts " view = #{view}" end #This one is working.... def resume(view) puts "resume; view = #{view}" end end Sketchup.active_model.select_tool TestMiddleButton.new

I'm using windows Vista with sketchy physics and it seemed to be working pretty good. a couple crashes when you start but after a while it quits. when it installed though it didt set to opaque view of things so everything was see through but i fixed that easily. XP is definetly better than windows vista right now though.

In the super-experimental version which no-one really uses (SP3X Jun27th), you can set a body's damping. What that means is with gravity set to 0, objects will carry on moving forever unless stopped, so you can create a true orbital motion sim by setting a static 'sun' as a magnet (which actually acts more like a gravitational field), and setting the planetary bodies to magnetic. If you give them motion at the start of the sim, they should fall into orbit 😄

This was shown by one of CPhillip's demos, but I don't know where to find it 😕

Anyway, you can get Jun 27th here: http://sketchyphysics.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Outbound&f=SketchyPhysicsWiki&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsketchyphysics2.googlecode.com%2Ffiles%2FSetupSketchyPhysics3x-Jun27.exe, but be warned, not many people use it, since you're not supposed to share models made with it on the warehouse.
