view/edit forces and their labels?
Hi,
Newbie here, struggling to find how to view which forces are made 'visible' when you tick the box and how to edit their labels and turn selected forces ON and OFF.
I've tried searching for 'force labels' but nothing useful thus far.
Is it possible to selectively choose which forces become visible and how they are labelled, please? It would make my mechanics simulations so much more useful as a teaching aid.
Secondly, can I display the resultant forces on a body from various individual forces?
e.g. a box with a parachute. I can show the weight, labelled as 'mg' but the forces from the parachute are displayed at each of the anchor points, along with the corresponding 'equal but opposite' forces.
I'd like to show a single 'mg' arrow downwards and a single 'air resistance' arrow upwards.
Can this be done, please?
Many thanks in advance for any support with this.

you need to have purchased and registered the Education Edition of Algodoo, then in Edit mode, it is the third button in the upper right-hand corner (by default) of your screen, the button called Visualization

Hello, mrdaviesphysics!
the free version 2.1.0 now does contain the
visualization-button, of which jon_joy_1999 spoke.
regards, DrAgon
