Using existing mesh - skriptsure - 08-11-2020

Hey guys! Maybe I haven't looked in the right spot, but I can't seem to figure out how to use an existing mesh with this system. Do I have to use the obi rope extruded renderer? I'd like to use an existing mesh if possible. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there documentation that I've missed?

Hi,

The extruded renderer takes a flat 2D section and extrudes it along the rope path. To use a custom mesh, you should use ObiRopeMeshRenderer. See:
