Ok, I have a 4" diameter rubber ball in free space 2 inchesabove a .5 inch thick steel plate. I apply gravity and drop theball. Everything I've tried setting all frame rates to max, 3-dcontact resolution to max etc. and still the ball passes rightthrough the plate.

I've left the properties as acrylic and/or chaged them to rubberand steel. THe only way I can make the 3-d contact work is Physicalsimulation. What I really want to is have the ball bounce as itshould!

Any suggestions?
