      try adding this code in the onTick field of the back wheels of one of your vehicles, with a framerate of 3 or 4-ish. Then drive. It's fun šŸ˜‰

      p=$curEvalGroup.bounds.center if frame >= 3 face=Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_face p, @c, @b face.material="white"Ā Ā Ā Ā  face.back_material="white" face.edges.each do |e| e.soft="true" e.smooth="true" e.hidden="true" end end @c=p
      …do that for one wheel and for the other, this.

          Lol, sweet. I'm dipping into the API myself, like with the cloth thing... and I agree, it's fun šŸ˜„

              A stupid suggestion... The cars'objects could be locked to make easier to cancel the previous track until automatic reset is available.

                I don't quite understand.

                  I think he wants it to automatically delete the track after the sim. That's easy enough in the new version, but undoing after the sim will give the same result šŸ˜„

                    Thanks Wacov- I forgot that the simulation can be undone.

                      Maybe if someone could just figure out how to set an object to spark(create a yellow trans. face) on the contact point when it's hit by something fast, like a bullet. Would be quite an addition to our little FPS models!

                            More playing, this time similar to sculpting.
                            … Unfortunately, it doesn't run that fast.
