Anchor a Flexi Prim?

Hi, I hope this isn't a stupid question(!)

I've only just started 'torturing' flexi prims - and I'm trying to create a rope that connects two objects together... i.e one that 'attaches' at both ends.

Trouble is... I can't see any way to 'anchor' the floaty, loose end. I've managed to tweak the necessary parameters to suit requirements in all other ways, but when I move the completed and linked object sideways, one end of the 'rope' detaches from the object and dances on the wind.

As much as I appreciate it's bid for freedom... I really need to anchor it.

Is this possible?

Hello Cat!

If I understand you correctly, you're wanting to attach another prim to the end of a flexi prim. This cannot be done. Flexi prims will always fly about at one end.

Hi Ari!

Thanks for answering my first ever forum query

Ah well... time for 'Plan B' then... just gotta work out what 'Plan B' is...

Best wishes,
Cat

You're welcome Cat!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I wish you the best with Plan B, or C, or D....or um....yeah...even E if it comes to that!

Thanks Ari

Yep... I really did end up at 'Plan E'.... Got around it by torturing a torus (poor thing... all bruised and battered it is now)... lost the grace of a swaying rope, but retained the required arc shape. It's a solution that works well enough, so I'm content with that.

Now I must go and give my tortured eyes a rest.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. You saved me from hours of plodding on the road to nowhere. Most grateful

Best wishes,
Cat

Well Cat I'm thrilled you were able to make your work! Plan E isn't TOO bad

Don't worry about torturing the poor prims. I believe they secretly like the attention.

Best,

LOL

Bless you Ari, thanks.

Best wishes,
Cat
