Is it possible to make a Linked Chain
-
Is it possible to make a chain (like a boat anchor chain with steel links (ovals) that acts like a chain and knows there are holes in the links? Like donuts linked together. How do you define this? Just linking the donuts without any joints just makes the joints fall apart.

Hello!
I've created a model with three examples, every link is created with many sub-groups to get the "hole" that you find in chains.
It's probably easier to download the model and look inside each link and see what I mean./hpisse

Thanks for the example. Works well, however I was trying to avoid making multiple segments and then group them. I was hoping for an easier solution.

I think that is the only way if you need to create holes with SketchyPhysics, cause there is nothing what I have found that can handle "concavo" objects, skechyphysics can only handle "convex". I've read that somewhere, I don't know where.

...Once you've made a single link once for the type of chain you need, you're done. Copy/paste at will.
And if you do the first part to a component, and then copy it, so will it be much easier to change the style of the chain later.
