Physics Conditions Available as Parameters

Some physics conditions can be parameterized and are identified using the icon. Click the icon to parameterize the physics conditions. This icon may appear in the
  • tree to the right of the condition
  • semi-halo above the HUD.

Physics conditions are also listed in the Manage Physics Parameters panel. The parameterization state of a condition can be controlled in the panel through simple selection in the list.
