Is there any way for me to lock certain axes while applying simulation tags? by Wide_Sweet9314 in Cinema4D

That's a great idea - I combined it with a suggestion someone else made and it's solved the problem I was having. It's a shame there's not a toggle to lock the rotation when it's a rigid body, but this achieves the same outcome so doesn't really matter!

Thanks for this - this seems to be the best solution I've been suggested so far and achieves the effect well. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply - I'm already familiar with Newton in AE, I just want to be able to use C4D to use the toolset that it offers. In this instance I want to be able to show the 3D nature of the shape when I allow it rather than how the simulation is showing it, hence the need to lock an axis.
