Welcome to the MSPhysics wiki!

MSPhysics a physics simulation plugin for SketchUp, similar to SketchyPhysics. What it does is simulates 3D groups and components using a NewtonDynamics physics engine. MSPhysics Preview YouTube clip demonstrates just that.

Visit the plugin's homepage for download links and installers.

As demonstrated in MSPhysics Preview video, MSPhysics can be used to simulate falling bodies and wallstacks. See this page for tutorials on making walls: Simulating Bodies

The falling bodies and wallstacks can also be recorded and exported into an animation. See this page for instruction on using MSPhysics Replay: Recording and Exporting Animation

With some knowledge of using joints, MSPhysics can be used to create controlled vehicles and various mechanisms. See this page for tutorials: Using Joints

And with scripting knowledge, MSPhysics can be used to create games and advanced emulators. See this MIDI Piano YouTube clip as an example of what is possible with MSPhysics scripting. Visit Scripting Documentation to get started with scripting.

To get started, watch these tutorials created by Samuel Ketner, a technical drawing instructor: https://www.youtube.com/user/samketner/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_id=0

Now finally, besides enjoying the work you've done, you can share it with others. A good place to share MSPhysics models is 3DWarehouse. When uploading a model to 3DWarehouse, add 'MSPhysics' to the tags field so that everyone else could find it. To see what others made, you can go to 3DWarehouse and type in 'MSPhysics' in the search field. You might as well just click on the link.
