Its not possible to acsess the variables directly. i think

Hopefully this will be implemented in the spiv thru some dll or something

I have managed to get around it and create good results

i program the keys to spesific values i need, then i make a program that programatically pushes buttons on the keyboard and set up the sequences i need.

I working on a compiled version i will share, but it will take some time due to licensing issues. i have made the program in Labview

thank`s a lot!

Is it some way to trigger the oscillator at a certain frame or when another object is in a specified position? i tried this with no sucsess:

If getvar("servo")==0.6; setvar("oscillator",20.0);end

hello, is it someone who knows how to make an object vibrate?

either up and down or from side to side

Hoping for the Rube Goldberg Machine, it could be nice to render..

i think to weeks for the competition should be a minimum

as far as i know there is no object animation render plugin available at this point.

it looks like a new version of skindigo (su - indigo)is not that far away that will handle this

you find more info and a video here: http://whaats-up.blogspot.com/

I had no other ideas of what to do.. it neither worked on su6 or 7 and i had work to do..

Problem solved..

I had to reinstall windows

same problem here, control panel doesent come up when i start simulation. also i
cant find the UI to conigure controller etc

I belive its a upcoming new feature to the skindigo exporter for sketchup to Indigo. I havent been able to find any more information on it so if someone has any news i would be glad to know

Indigo is a simple and powerful renderer that lets you render standard sketchup animations (not object animation so far).

I wanted to the same as you, so i found a way around using sketchup drawings in Blender

I run a startup company that takes on projects within laboaratory automation.
For me the best thing would be if i could conrol the motion with my externally written application
wich would make su/sp a brilliant tool for rapid prototyping of machines.

So i belive that sp has a great potensial for businnes use. much becouse of the easey 3d enviroment and no cost makes it a great choise for startups, and smb`s if motion could be controlled by external code like the weemote does..

With a renderer it would also become a great marketing tool

hello evangelos,

it is not possible to export the 3d model together with the SketchyPhysics joints.

it has been talked about at this thread:

http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=13839

Hello,

I would like to test my control algorithm written in labview on my x, y, z machine in sp.
Is it possible to control the sketchy physics control panel thru a dll or something like that?

Is it possible to use the same resources as the weemote uses to control motion, to write numeric values from a externally code written in in C,Java, python, labview. etc and in to sp?

I have seen some similiar posts where people want to control the motion programatically in sp, and if it would work to to use one of the to methods above i believe this would be a god aproach to the possibility of implement control algorthms in sp. This would be great to simulate robotics buildt in sketchup!

regards

Fredrik
