I don't know why this is happening but I can't find this 'Allow Disconnection' attribute in the attribute editor.

I open Maya
Create a poly cube
Select it
Create active rigid body
And this message appears:

// rigidSolver // // rigidBody1 //
// Warning: Cannot disconnect: 'rigidBody1.generalForce' from 'rigidSolver.generalForce'. To force the disconnection, set the 'Allow Disconnection' attribute in the attribute editor. //
// Error: Connection not made: 'rigidBody1.generalForce' -> 'rigidSolver.generalForce[0]'. Source node will not allow the disconnection. //
// Warning: Cannot disconnect: 'rigidBody1.generalForce' from 'rigidSolver.generalForce'. To force the disconnection, set the 'Allow Disconnection' attribute in the attribute editor. //
// Error: Connection not made: 'rigidBody1.generalForce' -> 'rigidSolver.generalForce[0]'. Source node will not allow the disconnection. //
// Warning: Cycle on 'pCube1.worldMatrix[0]' may not evaluate as expected. (Use 'cycleCheck -e off' to disable this warning.) //



I can't find this 'Allow Disconnection' attribute in the attribute editor.....

Having the exact same problem. Really frustrating. Seems the rigid body system in Maya 2011 is broken. What vesion are you using? I.e. Hotfix 1, 2, 3, Service pack 1?

Ok figured it out. What I eventually had to do was delete my pluginPref.mel from my maya prefs folder. Then restart maya. It will recreate the file with the defaults. If it doesn't work, try deleting the userprefs.mel also. they are both recreated upon maya's restart.

Hope this helps :)

Yup that did it! Thank you so much! I'm using 2011 SP3.
