      Ok, I see that the logs are intersecting between them and this seems to be causing some kind of explosion effect. Make sure to use Chris Fullmer's plugin as I described in my first post: Min scale 0.9, Max scale 1.0. If you use a higher scale the logs will start to intersect.

        I also tried that... maybe I am adding the geometric shape wrong. ๐Ÿ˜ข I removed everything but 1 log and it still jumped...

        Dunno.. I removed all plugins except Sketchyphysics 3RC1 and it still jumped...

        Non-intersecting logs attached...

          My random scale tool seems to be causing jumping issues for some people. I have not yet looked into it ๐Ÿ˜ž Sorry if its affecting your workflow. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check it out soon,

            As far as I know, the current version does not support friction settings.
            Weird what happened to your logs...

              I went around the jumping issue by re-grouping every log individually after using "scale and rotate multiple" (whew!).

              But now I have another question! Is there a way to add friction in Sketchyphysics? I don't want the logs to rely on the artificial "rope" -- the walls to keep them from rolling off the ground. I want them to adjust a little and then stop moving due to friction.

              Edit: Maybe the "magnet strength"? But how do I adjust properties of all objects at the same time as opposed to individually? ๐Ÿ˜ž

                      And this is exactly the case when projected material works pretty well on the sides, too. ๐Ÿ‘
