Can't get 'create pin' work in syflex!


#1

Hi folks!

Im experimenting with syflex cloth and I can’t get some things to work. Could you guys help me out by telling me what Im doing wrong?!

I’m selecting the vertices on my cloth, then select the target mesh (by leaving the vertices mode from the original object) and click constr > create pin, but it does nothing at all!

Any tips folks?? Please!?!

don’t go out of vertices mode, just hold control down and pick the pin mesh IN THE EXPLORER (not the viewport as it wont work)> I recall finding the same thing highly irritating trying all sorts of permutation for hours until someone told me.

Yah, that was it… :banghead: :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

God, that’s so frustrating! I tried everything for 2 hours to make it work! You’d think they could have been more clear in the manual >:(

Thanks a lot for your help! :bowdown:

Yep, you need a mixed selection.
For the record though, you don’t need to go and do it in the explorer view, you can mix any kind of selection modes in viewport by holding down shift+modeShortcut.

IE: if you want to select edges and points together, select some edges, then toggle to points with shift down (shift + t), and now with shift down to add (unless you have extended on) you can add points to the edge selection.

The same goes for mixing points and objects or any other modes.
Select points
hit shift + space
with shift down select the other object

Thats good to know… thanks
