This really is an exceptional explanation on how to make the joints work well. For all its kinks Sketchy Physics has incredible power.
Sorry it took so long for reply, Your explanation Helped me very much, and by looking at the file I now have a better understanding.
I am trying to study a simple porch glider type joints. I am very new to sketchyphysics 3.2 plug in, and it is installed in sketchup version 8. I started with an upright attached to the floor. Then added 2 hanging arms with hinges connecting them to the upright. The 2 hanging arms swing as they should individually, But when I try to attach the horizontal arm to the 2 hanging arms with hinges everything goes haywire! I have included the file for a sample of what I am trying to study. This idea could be a good basic tutorial for beginners. Please help me learn.
Hi, I just installed the plug in sketchy physics and I wanted to connect more than one pivot hinge to each group to make a glider rocker type drawing and see it work. When I add the second hinge to the first part and connect the second part what happens is the the second parts pivots but the first one quits being able to pivot. Are there tutorials available here for the plug in sketchy physics version 3.2 for sketchup version 8? Thanks in advance. Gary
