    I imported a profile from Illustrator, extruded with Extrude NURBS, made it editable, and then added a Soft Body tag to it. Every time it interacts with another object it totally falls apart. It won’t stay together. I’ve tried using the Connect tool, Weld, Optimize, put it in a HyperNURBS object – nothing works. Is there a solution to this?

    I’ve been trying to figure out the same thing and this thread with no replies is the only thing I can find! Bumping it in the hopes that somebody knows the answer.

    If you make extruded text editable it makes the text extrusion plus the caps (as children of the extrusion), do a Functions/Connect to make those 3 parts one object, then do an Optimize. At that point adding a Soft Body (or Cloth) tag should work.
