Serge – I'll give that a try – although the tutorial seems to say differently – see page 132 of the tutorial – "edge to face" is indicated for the table top since "the table is one large face." Is this incorrect? In any case, using the settings shown in this tutorial caused the ball to begin its ascent a good 15% of the distance shy of the table. Serge – I have to tell you that this is one of the most impressively complete and well-thought-through ipases I have ever seen. Dan Bean's documentation is really fantastic as well – how many 3DS plugins ship with a 238 page manual and about 12 tutorials! And as a bonus, there is a comprehensive index. I also found that on one of the tutorials (I can't locate it just now in the manual – its the one where you set the elasticity of each of the six balls differently) – the two densest balls enter a fatal embrace with the table and fail to come to rest. I guess I'll need to set the "Avoid Embrace" button. Seems surprising that this would happen in one of the tutorial exercises. Vsego dobrovo, Bob Weil
