Where's the "Simulation" Button on Simcloth?

[TigerGuy]

I've added a Simcloth material, but "simulate spring systems" doesn't get the simulation going. Am I pressing the wrong button or something?

You can right-click in the Chor window>Plugins>Simcloth Simulate

Good. Thanks. I thought it would be an easy question, though it never occurred to me. I'll try it the next time I use the program.

Um, it seems I need to adjust the collision or something. Is there any way to undo the simulation?

Right-click in chor>remove simulation data?

 

I forget if that applies to cloth or just dynamic constraints.

 

 

You can also delete cloth sim data by deleting the Splines folder under the object in the PWS.

 

And of course it's good practice to save a version of your work before you run a sim so you have an easy way to revert.

We've got to find a good way to suggest that everyone Right Click often.

So many options and solutions are revealed via a simple Right Click.

Every new user should set aside a day to do nothing but Right Click and explore whats there!

 

Roberts suggestion to Save first cannot be stressed enough either.

If you save first you can always abandon any effort... throw it away... gone forever... with the confidence that you can return again to your last Save and press forward again.

 

A good workflow in A:M will always include Right Clicking and Saving.

Doing both often... makes even better sense.

 

Maybe we should request a Save function via every Right Click menu. That'd help us emphasize both of these essentials.

Since I've already made a bad simulation, I think I'll first try deleting the splines folder. Thanks again.

Yeah, that's good advice. I just get carried away sometimes, doing a lot of work before saving.
