Re: The pool table. The balls are probably children of the table actor, try making them children of the BODY actor. In the figure section (near the end of the file above the materials section), you should see something like this: figure { name Figure 1 root BODY:1 addChild table_1:1 BODY:1 addChild ball_1:1 table_1:1 addChild ball_2:1 table_1:1 Change it to this: figure { name Figure 1 root BODY:1 addChild table_1:1 BODY:1 addChild ball_1:1 BODY:1 addChild ball_2:1 BODY:1 Now the balls should move independantly of the table. Another good idea is to go to the translate* channels of the balls and change the line "hidden 1" to "hidden 0", this will display dials for these channels in the paramiters pallet so you can move the balls without using the mouse. Also seting the value of "allowsBending" in the figures section to "0", is a good idea for non organic things, otherwise moving one part can bend another.
