Wind Setup

Using an open line, you can set the wind speed for Forced Balls in a scene.

1. Choose Toolbox / Create tab / Open Line and create a line segment showing the wind speed within the same hierarchy as the "ForcedBalls action joint".
   

   Tip The direction and length of the line determines the wind speed (direction and size).

2. Select the open line and choose Forced Balls Attributes from the information pull-down in the Browser.
   
3. The Forced Balls Initial Speed Settings dialog box appears.
   You can apply the wind speed setting to the open line and set the wind speed multiplier.
4. When you select the Speed line controls the uniform wind velocity check box and click OK, the motion of each Forced Ball is affected by the wind speed.
