I am puzzled perhaps someone can advise me about flexibles.
What decreases the movement of a flexible?
What does all the different options in flexible do? I have experimented some with it and I still bit baffled and not sure what does what.
Thanks in advance, FD

I posted something here a while back on the subject:
/8/b9/121480/1.html Someone responded with /16/1a/100115/1.html which I recon should now point to http://secondlife.com/knowledgebase/article.php?id=068 Anyhoo, I'll quote the useful section here, though the first link above will give you my attempt at explaining it. Flexible Details Here's more of an explanation behind what each Flexible Path setting does: • Softness - Take a hard guess... or a soft one. Softness goes from 0 to 3 in whole numbers. Multiply what's entered here by a power of 2 to find out how many segments get simulated. So, on a long pole, a softness of 0 looks like a car antenna, and a softness of 3 would have 8 segments and resembles a wet noodle. • Tension - Think of this as a flexible object's "backbone posture". Setting it to 0.0 will make it droop like a limp rope, while 10.0 is more akin to a walking stick's firmness. • Drag - The air friction affecting a flexible object. An easy way to understand it is: if it's set low, an object will wiggle wildly, but increasing it towards the maximum of 10.0 makes an object almost look like it's in slow motion, swaying gently. • Gravity - Since what goes up must come down, this affects the amount of downward force. Boost it up to 10.0, one click at a time, and watch your poor prim's parts sink. For extra enjoyment, you can lower this into negative numbers for alien effects--defy gravity! • Wind - The wind is everywhere in Second Life. Increasing this number emphasizes how much your flexible object is affected by the wind's strength and direction. For example, how a single page of paper taped to a railing blows compared to an entire book. _____________________
