I'm having trouble with physics... when I drop an object, it bounces on the plane below a few times then falls right through the plane. Any one else having this problem and any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Chuck,
it depends on the object. If it's a infinite plane it don't work right at all. Try to edit your object in the vertex room and triangulate it. Usually it works fine.

Quote - Try setting the accuracy/geometry settings higher(Edit->Edit Scene Effects->Physics tab). Objects at higher velocities/bouncing will also punch through objects alot at default settings(or explode/fly away effect).
Thank you! In all my years of Carrara use I had never messed with these settings before or even knew they were there. Increasing Simulation and Geometrics did the trick.
