Reducing "drag tool and penetration into geometry" issue

[tatt61880]

== Issue ==
Drag tool allow you to penetrate geometries into ground.


== Suggestion ==
This issue happens because drag tool strength is decided by drag length.
The strength should be reduced when you drag geometry into plane or fixed background geometries.

In this way, this issue won't be solved perfectly, but it will become better.

Btw, The next script works well for circle.

Code: Select all

Sim.solveRandomizeConstraints = false;

(I don't know why but when "[Visualization]->[View forces] is on, the value becomes false, automatically.)

I'm not agree with you, I've use this ability for drag objects through something (like put a chain on track) and it's nothing really wrong...

p.s. SolveRandomize is an old trick -)

In my opinion, penetration into object is not good for educational use.

[electronicboy]

i have to agree with tatt on the penetration not useful for education.
if this was fixed, a way of using the "broken" version would be useful.

[Chronos]

I agree with Kilinich. I've used this when things pop off and need to be fixed. There should be an educational mode, where this won't happen, and a normal mode, where this will.

I think the penetration is an issue altogether. Yeah, lol
Wouldn't it be awesome if things didn't go through other things.

[sheepborg]

is a full educational mode necessary? or can it be just another switch option for strong or weak drag tool?

[RaRaMalum]

I agree with Kilinich as its only a problem when something can't move and please don't add more buttons.

[Rrobba]

Yes, perhaps a toggle on/off button would be best to satisfy people on both sides of the argument. But overall I'd have to say I agree with what Kilinich said.

Maybe it does one thing when you right-click and the other when you left-click?
