First off...Y'all are incredible. It warms my soul to see people so jazzed about something
with so much possibility (and reality in a virtual sense)

However...I am still locked in a semi_autocad world and have found the following snafu.

If I import a solid model from Autocad, I think that the program assigns names of group#1, group#2, group#3 to all of the solids.

This seems to cause SP3RC1 to stop working.

However, if I just used the entity info tool and edit out the names it all works.

Anyone else have the same problem....I am introducing my Autocad students (it is in the course title) to workflow and this extra step might actually
be good for them but on the other hand it is maddening when you just want to hook up an xbox controller and throw virtual tomatoes.

Keep rockin!

Nice fun file. However I can't see what the object does? Could not the plugs be fed just by gravity?

Has anyone figured out the rhyme of reason of using oscillator, 20 as the controller for either a servo or a slider? If not...I will try and do the same but y'all are so clever here and I am oh so lazy.....

It might be frequency....it might be amplitude ....it might be a mix...any help?

I especially would like to control things to keep them out of phase...etc.

Cheers.

To tell you the truth Chris...I'm not sure.

The first is the evangelism out to the high schools...I really think that google should be reaching out to the "project lead the way" and like engineering/creativity efforts. I will remain an ardent supporter of Autocad as it still has a pretty big footprint in industry but SKETCHUP ROCKS.

As to the controlling the controllers I'm just curious how the links work from the controllers and what it would take to have more than 4 being controlled. I will keep reading up on Ruby when the time permits but now that I have found the F-16 and borrowed a Xbox360 controller who knows if I will get anything education pushing done.

I'll keep looking for controller insights and talk to the folk using PLC's and legos.

Cheers.

I teach at a technical college and REALLY jazzed about sketchy physics as well as sketch-up in general.

I'm really digging the controllers for all the new joints but wonder if anyone is figuring out a way to control the controllers from another program. If my mouse on the screen in controlling the slider bar it shouldn't be too much of a push to have a program do the same.

Any ideas....I presume is is a Ruby issue but flash me some insight and GET THIS PROGRAM OUT TO THE HIGH SCHOOLS. We need kids to invent and not just play solitaire and mindsweeper.
