Hi,

Unfortunately it's not possible due to the very nature of rods, otherwise this functionality would have been provided out of the box and no distinction between rods and ropes would exist.

No, changing the length of a rod is not possible at all.

Yes, just enable "constrain orientation" in the ObiParticleAttachment. Rotating the attached target's transform will then drive the rod particle orientation.

Yes, you can just attach two points in the rope instead of one. Due to basic geometry this will constrain the rope's orientation in 2 axis - note the rope will still be free to twist. This is because objects can rotate around 1 point, but can't rotate around 2 points since only one line passes trough 2 points in space.

This technique is used in some of the sample scenes, for instance in "RopeShowcase" the ropes in the left wall use 2 attachments to stay perpendicular to the wall.
