Hi Matthias : Yes , and you do not have to let a sim run until the end , instead , just stop it and use your "Undo" . This will re- wind it as if nothing had happened . The problem was that the project Chuck had sent the list had a spin value for the rotor already set , so of course it would spin without any magnets . Like I said , I thought it was the script or the choreography ... or something , and it was , as you discovered and pointed out . It was just a heads up to Chuck to have another look at his project , and he did . When you used the word "recorded" I didn't know of any "recording" so thought it must be script related or something . Sorry , my misunderstanding . Thanks . studio > Hi Garry, > > it's not the script which holds the spin value, > it's the "Phys" Tab in Properties-Window where > the Spin comes from. > As always: A Simulation must be played from start to end, > if you stop it, and then press play again, it becomes incorrect ;-) > > Have a look at the attached picture. > > Matthias > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "studio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2006 11:05 AM > Subject: Re: Wheel Constraint > > > > > Hi Stefan, > > > the Script is OK, but the "disk/cylinder" holds maybe the last "recorded" > > > spin value if you don't play the complete anim. > > > Matthias > > > > Anyway , "Recorded" spin value ?
