YES WE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT WE FREQUENTLY ALSO FIND
OURSELVES CAUGHT UNDER THE TERRAIN (NOTE THAT ALL OUR VERTICES MATCH).

FINALLY WE DECIDED TO FLY RATHER THAN DRIVE
         
        Hi,
         
            We're trying to add terrain following (and object collision
        detection) to a virtual "world" we've created using Designers Work
        Bench. The normal terrain following and collision detection implemented
        in perfly does not work. When we walk in an area that has a roof over
        it, you end up on the roof and you can walk through walls and pillars,
        etc.
         
            How does Performer know what the ground is ( is there something we
        could do in DWB to tell Performer what the ground is ?)
         
            Can someone PLEASE detail the process we need to go through to get
        this terrain following and collision detection to work? Thanks very
        much!
         
        Herb
