Help Might be a dumb question

Thanks for the explanation!

I'm trying to implement a cutting algorithm, find a list of pairs of particles connected by DistanceConstraints that are as close as along a given straight line. I think that I need the particle orientation to determine if two particles connected by a DistanceConstraint don't have any "mesh gap" between them. Because my mesh has two sides that are close to each other, and I'm worrying that Obi will create constraints from the outside vertices to the inside vertices.

If Obi won't create DistanceConstraint between two cloth particles if there is "mesh gap" between them, then I probably don't need the particle orientation.

Or, is it possible to get the mesh vertex index for a corresponding particle/closest to a particle? Maybe I can resolve my issue if I can get the vertex information.

Hi!

Obi will only create constraints along triangle edges, so as long as your vertices aren’t physically in the same position (distance below 0.00001) you won’t have to worry about constraints “bridging” across gaps in the mesh.
