I have a complex mech model that has hanging pipes attached between the head and the body. When I soft bind the pipes to a joint chain and rotate the head group up/down/sideways, etc the pipes bend and flex perfectly, as expected.

My problem occurs when I select the main control (nurbs circle) for the model and translate it slightly. The pipes move away from the joint chains in the direction I move the main control.

They seem to moved away from the joint chains at an exponential rate.


Has anyone come across the bizarre behaviour before?

This is an image of the pipes on the side of the head (between the pistons):



Thanks
