    i there i want to creat a cloth that is suported by 3 cubes(one in the top and the other two in the sides), and i want to animate the cloth fallin down.
    So i made a plane and selected the points were i wanted to be the cubes, and click set in the fiz points, but now the cloth dont move, even if i put inside a null.
    How can i solve this?

    Fixing the points isn’t what you need, you want to use the Belt tag which you can turn on and off (animate the Influence parameter). Quick Example

    Sorry i explain my self wrong, what i want is this that the cubes hold the plane, cause in your example the cloth dont hold in the cubes.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks a lot for your quick anwser

    I think you want to fix three sides of the plane (do not enable dresser just click “set”) Then put your rubber setting higher (like 75%)

    Or if you want three side to stay and stretch the other fix one side and use a belt tag to a cube that has been key framed already.

    Belts are still likely the way to go. The boxes are in a different place but the cloth is held in place by the belt tags until frame 60 (if I recall correctly) where the Influence of the belt changes from 100% to 0, only then does the cloth slide off the boxes.
