      I'm not a poet, but I'll have a try.
      If this model wins, then thats really bad,
      I only spent five minutes, if you ask why.
      But in it goes, a winner might be had...

      And in plain English: This is a very crude model, but there has to be a first contestant in every competition, so let's get this going!

      By the way, why is this in the components requests forum?

          The strangest thing happens when you press play in sketchy physics: All the gumdrops flip upside down, save for the ones on the left of the roof. Then ALL the roof ones fall through the roof. though I know why that happens, I cant figure out why almost all of them invert, and even more so, why not all of them do that.

            It was my stupid idea to create the "Requests" as a main forum and the CMS forums as subforums under it. We'll shortly change this.

              LOL 😆... So the reason that the gumdrops fall is that I created them as the sketchy physics capsule creating tool, and then copied them after flattening and enlarging their bases. The reason that they invert is that their collision geometry doesn't change when you mirror (flip along ___ axis) groups. I still don't get why you even thought to play sketchy physics on it though.

                I thought I would hit play because I saw that the ground wasn't much more than the default floor object created with SP. First thing I noticed actually. So off went my mouse hunting for the play button and sure enough the gumdrops flipped.

                    and not merely sits.

                    An entry from Us would not be wise
                    As We are the judges for you guys
                    A contribution We will make
                    To help you with your cookies or cake

                    His name is Jerry
                    And oh is he very
                    Good with small sweets
                    Like kiwi strawberry

                    His work is well known
                    A confection contractor
                    He even appeared
                    One night on Fear Factor

                    He is strong, well mannered
                    And so very handy
                    With his pretzel hammer
                    And tools made of candy

                    For cutting and sawing
                    Not hemming and hawing
                    For help with a ladder
                    Or ‘corn ceiling splatter

                    With butter caulk icing
                    In his tool belt
                    He’ll seal your house tight
                    So nothing will melt

                    In need of more help
                    With all of your work?
                    Just copy him left
                    And name that one Dirk

                    If you copy to the right
                    You can name this guy Fred
                    You simply cannot go wrong
                    With his skill’d gingerbread

                    If you copy him back
                    Name that new one Steve
                    Just keep a tight eye
                    ‘Cause he likes to leave

                    Copy one to the front
                    Give him the name Gruber
                    He’s just what you need
                    A real master roofer

                    Jerry has a fine friend
                    Named Peabody Longfellow
                    He was lovingly made
                    Out of two big marshmallows

                    He’s not that much help
                    As you will find out
                    Lest you melt him down
                    And use him for grout

                    Have fun with your houses
                    As much as you can
                    Just try not to eat up

                          Tom, the model you must share
                          So our judging will be fair

                                My model sits large,
                                and moves like a barge,
                                But I added the link,
                                'cause I don't want to fink;
                                It's certainly not tasty,
                                since completed all hasty,
                                And the pieces sublime,
                                are not much of mine.

                                But post it I do,
                                as my challange to you!

                                            now I find that I have won
                                            I am glad you enjoyed my gingerbread
