I am looking into purchasing ObiRope. The particular need that I have is for a rope system that can have objects attached to it along its length, like a clothesline. Is this possible with this asset. I saw examples where objects are attached at either end, but nothing along the length.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric,

You can attach objects at any point along the rope, not just the ends. Both rope and the object will react accordingly depending on where is the object attached, its mass, and the mass of the rope at each side of the attaching point.

This is done using pin constraints:
