Gravity Angle with physics objects?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm trying to rotate a layout or layer while maintaining the gravity angle the same. This is with physics objects. My example would be that i have a rectangle with a ball on top of it and as i rotate the layout or layer the ball should roll off and its not. Does anybody have any examples on how to do this?

	The best way to do this is to turn off the real gravity of your physics objects. Then add them to a family, and apply a force at angle on this family. The force should be the intensity of gravity you want, and the angle should be the gravity angle. Hope this makes it clear for you.

	Thanks, i would have never thought of that.

	Worked, but since i can't set the orgin of rotation it will not work for what i'm doing. I'm going to use the following so i can rotate all objects around a point. x = cx + r * cos(a) y = cy + r * sin(a)
