First, thanks for your GREAT ASSET!! I'm getting an issue trying to setup handles with ropes...

I using Unity 2018.3.2f1 and Obi Rope. First your example scene does not work as far as the handle are concern, I've noticed that and it is may be linked to my problem :

When I setup a Rod I get all the button to fix particle and create an handle.
When I setup a Rope, the button "fix translation and orientation" is not active and the Handle setup does not work

I'm then not able to make Handle working with Ropes. I made many many trials and I pretty sure it is not a setting problem...

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hi there,

What you describe is the correct behavior, and it is explained in the manual:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutor...iting.html

Excerpt from that page:
"Note that the fix button will only be enabled if the ObiActor makes use of oriented particles. Currently the only ones that do are ObiRod and ObiSoftbody."

Since ropes use regular particles (position only, no orientation) the fix button is unavailable. You can only fix their position (by using the "Fix position only" button) and they will rotate freely.

Handles work just fine with ropes. Again, they will only fix particle positions, not orientations.

For more info, see:
