MS Physics for Sketchup 2020?

Extensions
1

Hello everybody !
Is there a way to use MS Physics in Sketchup Pro 2020?
I have installed both AMS Library and MS Physics, but I get an error message when starting Sketchup 2020 that some DLLs cannot be found. :frowning:
Unfortunately I can no longer use Sketchup 2017 because I don’t have a valid license :frowning:

Or is there an alternative to MS Physics?

Kind regards from Germany, Bernhard

MsPhysics is not compatible with versions after 2018. Anton is working on a new version. No timeline on that.

Would be great if Mphysics will come back. I used it quite often. Do you have any suggestions about any replacement for MP in therms of object collisions calculations?

The SketchUp 2017 (Make) is free version no need license in a standard use.(also 2018 compatible with MSPhysics)

Oh boy, that is a bummer!!!

MS Physics always comes in handy when I need to do destruction scenes and piles of stuff.

I would definitely pay for it to have it.

Please let us know if this is still in the works.

Thank you!

Too bad I can’t open a 2021 save file so I’ll have to start from scratch again(Not that it matters as I only create a few gear sets anyways but if this was a finished product and all I needed was some gear meshing animation to see this all in action…if it even does mesh before putting it onto wood and making them out for real only to find out that they don’t mesh at all…or smoothly well enough if they even mesh):

Now to fiddle some more with the gears so they mesh properly and not fly around when I start the animation…

You can save your file as version 2017 in 2021.

I don’t think there will be an update… unless another forum member decides to pick up the torch.

That would be great, really miss that plugin, clothworks, from the same developer, is the closest for simulations but MSPhysics was capable of a lot more.
