MultiJoints - Display
Each RealFlow node has its own "Display" settings and joints are no exception. Since MultiJoints are not physical objects, consisting of polygons or grid cells, the possibilities are limited and only concern the illustration of the connectors.
Visible
A connection between two points is indicated by a little cross, similar to a "Null" node. These crosses directly represent the joints’ positions. When the bodies are separated, you can also see lines of dashes between the linked points. "No" disables this representation.
Multiple colours
By default, MultiJoints have a uniform colour, defined under the “Node” panel. If you would like to see everything more vividly, activate this function and the connectors will be shown in different colours. Colours play an important role with MultiJoints and even if this feature is set to "No", you can differentiate between these states by colour:
Colour | State |
---|---|
Green | Normal state |
Red | Broken |
Orange | Breaking in progress |
Yellow | Plasticity state |
