"Hi Michael, Thanks for reminding me of this. You are quite right, and this is fixed for the next release. More generally there's a big change in the works for the way all 'hard' constraints operate in kangaroo... "

BUG: PullToSurface

I think I found I bug in the PullToSurface component tonight.The input "PullStrength"'s tool-tip says you can enter "0 for Hard Constraint". Unless I'm reading that incorrectly, it seems to me that would be for when you want the force to be infinitely strong and make the point ALWAYS stay on the surface and not just be pulled toward it. If so, then when I try entering 0, the opposite happens. As would be expected without the tool-tip, entering 0 produces zero force on the point.Hoping maybe it…See More

User Objects/Clusters Failing to Transfer - No Error Message

Hi All.I user Grasshopper on multiple computers, all synced with Dropbox. That way, when I create files(.gh), user objects(.ghuser), export and reference clusters (.ghcluster), all three computers work seamlessly together because they all share the same files.I want to export a cluster (either in .ghuser or .ghcluster) so that others can use it and so that I can use it on computers that aren't in my Dropbox account.I have created many custom components, and some if them contain others of my…See More

"I you're running Kangaroo on a timer, it's definitely a dynamic effect. If you're running Kangaroo on the "sequence" tool, it resets the whole simulation any time you change anything."

"Version .084 includes improvements made in version .080 and new improvements made in v.084 (as per release.txt in each release compressed file) probably is a date mistake. version number is OK date of publishign may be wrong. Regards Alejandro "
