RE: SP3 feature Magnets
damn. so i guess my next question may be pointless too: Does the magnetic number equate to anything special (like ? Or is it just a sequential value.

RE: SP3 feature Magnets
Maybe in the future you could have a visualization of the magnetic field or for any of the invisible forces.

SP3 - Saving While Physic Simulation Doesn't Reset Positions
I was working on a file, messing around with levitation with the magnets. It works. But I had to leave my house real quick, so i hit save and closed. Well, it was actually while the physics simulation was playing. When i came back and opened sketchup and opened the file. The position of the disk had fallen after this levitation test. so when i saved it last it was all messed up in a weird position and play was still stuck on. but the shapes saved were permanently askew.
So when you save while simulated, it will save in whatever position the elements were in last, and not reset.
This is on Mac OS X 10.5.6

RE: SP3 feature Magnets
yes that totally works. But i found something else out. When you click on strength for the magnet you can't just leave it at "100" it wont work, nothing will move. You have to add .0 so its "100.0" then click in another field then it will work. It doesn't auto add the .0

RE: SP3 feature Magnets
1 - made a "solid floor"
2 - made a 3 cube stack
3 - hit play, top most cube was unbalanced and fell off.
4 - continued to just click and move blocks around
5 - deleted cubes, and made 3 more in a row equal distance apart
6 - clicked on the middle cube and clicked UI.
7 - clicked magnet check box and enter 10.0
8 - clicked on outer cubes and checked magnetic
9 - clicked play - nothing.
10 - while play is on i tried to move the cubes around, they don't move but only highlight with blue outline
11 - clicked pause/play but it doesn't pause. it stays a gray clicked button.
12 - I then clicked on the selection arrow tool and play/pause popped off and paused
13 - I clicked the middle cube (originally the magnet) the strength is blank. I type 50.0 unclick, then click again on the cube, and strength is blank.
14 - unchecked all states in the UI to try to make them all go back to their original states.
15 - the clicked play again
16 - while clicking and dragging on the cubes i only get the selection action
17 - i then deleted the 3 cubes and floor to try and start again in the same file.
18 - i make a floor and one sphere
19 - i hit play and its as if play was never hit at all. i click and drag and it start to draw another sphere.well that's it. it was a play by play. hope that helps at all.

RE: SP3 feature Magnets
I'm having the exact same problem. I'll post back with steps.
