    Can you be more specific? Which tags? Trying to do what?

    Sorry, forgot you can’t post links to youtube.

    I added a cube primitive to a cloner object

    Made the cloner object editable, and added Mograph rigid body tags to each cube. Added a floor, mograph rigid body tag, as well.

    I intended to test the dynamics engine, to see how the cubes would react, but nothing happened when I added the tags to the cloned objects, and moved along the timeline. I tried quitting and re-opening 4d, restarting the computer, changing my scene..etc. No go. Everything else seems to work fine, no issues.

    Am I missing a step, I am kinda green in 4D? But online tutorials (r11.5) say it should work.

    I never had 11.5 but I believe you had to have dynamics happen inside a mograph cloner or a fracture object. I don’t know if that’s true for colliders as well. Since you made your cloner editable it isn’t a cloner anymore so that should break it. Others will know for sure.

    Right, in 11.5 dynamic objects have to be either clones or children of a fracture object. Colliders can be anything.
