I can't keep any of my skirts above ground when they are attached to an axle. I remember there was a glitch, but i can't remember what causes it.

For some reason the skirts are really glitchy.  I fixed them up a bit for the 2.1 patch so they no longer make vertical spinners unbalanced, but they still occasionally collide weirdly.  I think I'm going to try just making totally new objects with the same dimensions and see if it helps.

For now I can just suggest not to put too much weight on the skirts; that tends to make them sink into the floor, especially when they're the angled kind and the weight is concentrated on the point.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.
