Help  How to Shorten or Scale the Length of an Obi Rod

It’s not possible, rods cannot have their rest length changed at runtime. See:
https://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/manu...setup.html

Only option that comes to mind is baking the mesh generated by ObiRopeExtrudedRenderer, and then scaling the mesh. This doesn’t really “increase its length”, but rather just scale it which won’t give the same results unless the rod is completely straight and aligned with a local axis.

kind regards,

This is an intermediate result I tried.
I enabled the use of a Cursor in Obi Rod and fixed some bugs.
After deleting the cursor and reordering, I recorded a video showing that the length gets reduced at runtime.
It seems I need to make further adjustments for the extension part.
I feel like I might be approaching this too complicatedly—
is there really no alternative method besides the way I’m doing it?
