Hi again The very very very very very big issue for me now is as follows: My straw is so complex that i had to group it!! Is there anyway that i can make a group get effected by dynamics???? Soft bodies is normally made out of geometry - so........ehm - i have tried to put a lattice around my group and make the lattice a soft body, but as soon as i do that the connection between the lattice and the group disapears! :-( Any advice????
