Nice - Not sure if I can learn how to animate a set of gears while giving it the color and texture I want, and then be able to use it as an animation effect in my video. Seems it will be a detour unable to be pursued at this time. But thanks for showing us we can put this together using this software.
Hi I created 2 gear, a physics sketchup, and at the moment when I turn on the toggle play function, the gears move away from each other. feeling that there is something between the teeth.
Unfortunately, I have no solution. ruclips.net/video/AlF5WrgRs24/видео.html sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=64189&sid=a6f96f272d5144fd55fc91c5c04a71d2
Sketchyphysics downloads and installs easily. It doesn't even appear to Sketchup. Same under Windows 8 and 7. At some retries I see Sy menus but never the user window or in SU menus... Are there people that really use Sketchyphysics for Windows ? Where can be found the trick ? Is there any precise description, else than "download and run it" ? Thank you veeery much !
It's hard to say. I do not remember any problems with installation. I have WinXP, SU 8.0, SketchyPhysics 3.2. Its directory is Program Files\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\SketchyPhysics3 ... All menus are visible under View->Toolbars... What about other .rb plugins (Ruby), do it work in your SU? Probably no documentation exists, that's why I had to make many trials-and-errors and that's why I made this tutorial. Moreover, author probably abandoned this project, last update was in 2010. Now I see some unofficial new version 3.3 : sketchyphysics.wikia.com/wiki/SketchyPhysicsWiki but I did not try it. The biggest problem to me is that objects in SketchyPhysics do not crack or bend, but penetrate each other, and for instance a chain is barely able to carry its own weigh, under load it tears apart while its links themselves stay unbroken. I did not find any way how to avoid this and I think it is not possible. That is why I use SketchyPhysics only rarely now...:-(
It's all in how you get to the Plugin directory. The installation program isn't on friendly terms with Win7; it's easier to install it directly. Just download the ZIP file and extract it into C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins. Sketchup will then recognize it! (This assumes v.2014 and Win7; other applications are similar though.)
oh my god... this explains so much... thanks for doing these. Professional as hell.
Sir, that's perfect.
I've made step-by-step and it's works.
Thank you!

Wonderful
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to mention; works A+ with the free version of Sketchup 2016, the Make version.
How can I do this with my Sketchup 2016?
Hi
I created 2 gear, a physics sketchup,
and at the moment when I turn on the toggle play function, the gears move away from each other. feeling that there is something between the teeth.
Не могу понять, жму в итоге Toggle Play - цепь рвётся, иногда вся, иногда частично. Я уж и стальной её сделал - безрезультатно.
Nice tutorial!
That's quality son!
my chain always break in the long section, I did everything you showed on the video...
any guesses?
+brcmano my chain also breaks
Unfortunately, I have no solution.

Darn, didn't work looks like i'm going to have to wait as i have the 2015 version. oh well.
Have you tried this?sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=58936 (I haven't)

Talk that would be good !
CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING?
