    Hi!
    I'm trying to connect Simtools to SketchUp to desing my own 2 DOF simulator.
    I followed this post, step by step, https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/proof-of-concept-sketchyphysics-alternative.9944/ but it has not worked for me.
    When I start SketchUp, appears this error [​IMG]
    and I think that is the reason why it does not work.
    Some help please?:think

    What version of SU are you using?

    have you followed all the advice in the thread, such as socket.so and naming of joints?

    I'm using SketchUp 2017.
    I named the joints $Axis1a and $Axis2a.
    I put the socket.so file in the Plugins folder.
    I don't know what the socket.so file does, but I think I did everything well.
    Tell me if I'm wrong, thanks.
