What is SketchyPhysics?

Sketchyphysics is a plugin written by C. Phillips for Google's 3-D program Sketchup. It allows the objects you draw in Sketchup to "come to life" in a real world simulation with gravity, collisions and interactions with other objects.


Basic:
If you start by making a cube and grouping all the parts into one object, the object will be recognized by SP. Physics will then be applied when you press the RUN button.

There are also auto-shapes provided through a toolbar that is installed with SketchyPhysics. These shapes are already grouped and ready to use, all you have to do is draw them where you want to in your model.

SETTING THE STATE OF THE OBJECT

After making a grouped object, there are 2 main attributes to use when creating an object to use in SP. They are accessed by Right-Clicking a grouped object.

The first option is STATE. This sets how the object behaves in SP.

The STATE options are:

FROZEN: Image will stay in place (it won't fall) until it is hit by another object, then regular Physics takes over.

STATIC:   The object will NEVER move, no matter what happens to it. Other objects will bounce off of it.

IGNORE:  The object will not move, and other objects will not interact with it. They will pass through it. (It is a ghost.)

On the next page we'll discuss the second option: Shape.

Thea Render for SketchUp

SketchUp to Thea Exporter is an exporter of Google SketchUp models to Thea Render. It is a bridge between those two applications. It will allow you to apply
Thea properties to your SU materials, scenes and components and render the model in Thea. The exported model is being saved in XML file and in an additional
sub-folder containing associated files - textures, meshes and lights.

How to install?

MS Windows Systems:
Please use supplied installer. It is advised to install Thea Render first and enter the exporter serial number in Thea.
Please make sure you have administrator rights while installing the plugin.
A default SketchUp installation folder is:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google Sketchup (>version number<) \Plugins
The folder will be automatically found in case of SketchUP versions 6, 7 and 8.
MAC OSX Systems:
Please use supplied ZIP archive. OSX installer will be available soon.
It is advised to install Thea Render first and license SketchUp exporter inside Thea.
A default TheaExporter installation folder is:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup >version number</Sketchup/Plugins
1.Please unpack\copy all files and folders into a Sketchup\Plugings folder
>> Sketchup\Plugins\TheaExporter.rbs
>> Sketchup\Plugins\TheaExporter_files\
Overwrite all older files.
Trial version limitations
The plugin offers unlimited evaluation period. In case you have a full version of Thea without SU-2-Thea plugin license some of exported faces will be painted with a
default material. Use of the trial version for commercial purposes is prohibited.

Tensile Structures for Sketchup

Struktur Tensile adalah suatu rekabentuk yang menarik, moden dan canggih yang mampu menjadikan idea rekabentuk anda lebih menarik dan serbaguna. Setiap individu yang ingin melakarkan idea asal tetapi tersekat dan berhadapan dengan masalah darisegi visual struktur.

Plugin Soap Skin & Bubble adalah alatan untuk membantu pereka dalam mengkaji mekanikal dan struktur regangan permukaan Tensile pada peringkat awal proses rekabentuk.


Antara fungsi dan juga kegunaan plugin ini dalam proses merekabentuk:
Proses mencari bentuk: alatan untuk menghasilkan bentuk 3D
- modifikasi visual jaring/tensile (gerak, pusing)
- ridge dan vally cable
- anchoring cables
- manipulasi karakter jaring
Proses menganalisis membran
- kekuatan membran
- kekuatan kabel
Proses menganalisis struktur sokongan


Semua fungsi alatan plugins Soap Skin & Bubble ini hanya berfungsi untuk tujuan draft arkitek atau pereka sahaja dalam menganggarkan struktur dan kos kasar pembinaan.


Contoh penghasilan struktur tensile menggunakan plugin ini:

Hyper Paraboloid

Saddle-surface

Ridge-Valley-Surface

Pneumatic-surface
