How to add collider geometry

by Vlad Buga

Apr 29, 2018

I find WASP to be a really cool tool to create aggregations. I worked with it throughout the semester and learned what it can do. However I cannot figure out what to use for the COLL input on the Basic Part..

I use some geometry that's more complex and that can't be replaced by a simpler one (to be replaced later by more advanced shapes).. and the aggregation parts intersect since they only see the parts they are connected to but not the others.

Can I use the COLL input to solve the problem? I tried transforming my parts into meshes and using those as inputs but it didn't work.. Is there any other way to solve the problem?

    Hi Vlad,

    yes, the COLL input is there to help modelling with more complex geometries. Generally speaking, the collider input should take a mesh which is slightly offset inwards from the original geometry (0.01 units for example). This allows to avoid computing intersections with the connecting parts.

    It is a bit difficult to be specific about your problems without seeing the geometry you are working on. If you could attach here one example of the geometry you are working on, I can try to see if it is possible to build a collider for it.

      This thread saved my life! I couldn't make the collider work properly and now I know why...it was exactly following most of the edges of the actual part geometry; after a slight inward OffsetSrf i finally made it work! Thanks a lot Andrea and Vlad
