i understood that...but it doesn't work!

look----> [flash=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoVzTrK3NGc[/flash]

how can this be done?

well, in the last model the only thing missing is the connection beetween a box and a joint...

groupjoints-1.skp

i don't remember where i found it (i suppose somewhere in this forum), but this ruby is very useful: just select the circle and then click Plugins>Set Center Point.

centerpoint.rb

"gruop state/shape change" changes the state/shape of all selected groups.
i didn't really understand what you want to do, but i think i got it. check out the attached model: i've simply grouped joints with boxes.

groupjoints-1.skp

nice! it's very powerful, though i found quite hard to understand how it fires...

have a look at the completed model!

hi! i was wondering if there's a way to lock the pose in SketchyPhysics, maybe with an example i can explain myself (english is not my first language) i downloaded the model of the robot arm, open the model, push the play physics button and start to move the fingers and made a cool pose, but when i finish and use others sketchup buttons the pose is lost, my question is: there is a way to not lose this pose or save it, stay with the worked pose and continue working with the tools of sketchup, draw something, etc? (maybe save in a layer?)

This is very important also in my work as an architect to design solar protection windows and stuff like this. Amazing tool by the way, thanks!!

i don't think so...anyway wait for CPhilips'answer.

io fino a ieri avevo postato solo nel forum in inglese. comunque non faccio uso professionale di scketchup.

a me questo subforum sembra piuttosto inutile, dal momento che chi ha da chiedere qualcosa lo chiede nel forum in inglese...

riguardo alla nuova versione non sprei...magari uno strumento "unisci" per unire ad es. due segmenti di una linea che è stata precedentemente divisa o per unire due gruppi o componenti senza doverli prima esplodere.
e magari la possibilità di disegnare in 2D...

yes, it works for me too.

now it works perfectly! thanks!

thank you so much! i finally got what i wanted!

can i ask you one more thing? is it possible to make the cannon rotate on the blue axis with a wheel+servo joint?

Cannon.skp

so, basically, i cannot make the piston joint rotate along with the cannon and fire when i want...

NOW my old model it's there again...

So, i'm trying to build a cannon. now it rotates with a servo joint. i wonder if it's possible to throw out the ball with a piston joint after the cannon is rotated.

Thank you in advance.

Cannon.skp

thank you! now we can make cool things with the new version of SP!

ACTUALLY, the model is "Prague Castle St. Vitus Cathedral (WITH TOUR!)" by Hrusak. I edited only the roofing.
i made one by myself, but it's INCOMPLETE...

the original model is in google earth yet.

Julius, did you take the pictures used in the St Vitus model? It looks good
no, but the pics i took look better

Nice search Gaieus, sorry I wasn't more helpful, checked ur model out and it is there .

it's not there, i made a new one.

@ Gaieus: i went to prague this summer and i suggest you definitely to go and visit this beautiful city!

thank you Gaieus, in the meantime i re-uploaded it; if you want to see it, it's here

i know, but maybe you could know if it has happened before...
