Stretching scale must be set to 1 unless you want to make distance constraints shorter. What do you mean by "the rope seems to be stretched, but it is not in the way as it is in the crane."?

Yes, that's the expected behavior: the stretching scale parameter scales the length of the rope, if you set it to say 0.5, the rope will be 50% shorter than its rest length. So if you set its rest length to 5 meters using cursor.ChangeLength(), its length will be set to 5*0.5 = 2.5.

Well, it depends on what your formula looks like and what it does. Could you explain what you're trying to do in more detail?

What do you mean by "it doesn't apply to all the variables in the project"?

With zero or little damping, that's what should happen. You can increase damping in the ObiSolver component. Note this damping value is isotropic (acts with the same strength in all directions), if you're interested in a vertical damping only you will have to implement it yourself. You can get/set/edit all particle properties using the particles API, so it should be easy to apply your own damping calculations if needed.

kind regards,
