[newbie question] - Can't 'fix' particles ? Option is greyed out

[josemendez]

Just following the very basic flag tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...HaSVKzU8ks)

I can't 'fix' ? The option is greyed out, why ?

You cannot fix both position and orientation because cloth particles are not oriented. You can only use the "fix position" option. This is explained here:

"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."
