I've noticed that small physical spheres I've created seem to float above the floor, and also away from each other. It's as if there's a larger, invisible sphere surrounding it that defines where it can touch.
Is there a way to stop this from happening so that objects can behave properly?

There's a boundary around objects imposed by the Havok engine (.05 M?) is that what you mean? You'll get collisions before the objects visually touch.

So there's no way around this if you use small objects?

From: Xerxes Qinan So there's no way around this if you use small objects? The size of the object doesn't matter. There's always .05 meter collision tolerance with physical objects. It's a limitation of the ancient Havoc engine that SL is still using. They've been working on replacing it for years now.

True, but with larger objects it's not as noticable. Oh well, I guess I'll work around it.
