syflex nails go bad

syflex nails go bad

Hey guys,

Anybody run across this?  I keep having nails just go bad in XSI.  So,
for istance, I have some syflex cloth that is being pulled by a nail.  
I'll be working with the cloth and changing settings, but NOT changing
the nail settings at all and not moving the animation of the nail or
otherwise even doing anything at all with the nail.  Then, I'll reopen
the scene to do more work, and the nail will have gone bad.  The nail is
exactly the same, in the same place and everything, but the cloth will
pull like 20 units in the negative Z for some reason and not follow it's
own nail.  I have a nail that is nested inside a sphere, and the sphere
is on a path animation.  I've tried clearing the cache and all that, but
no good.  So, I end up having to delete the nail and it's cluster
constraint, create  a new nail and drop it inside my sphere that's
pulling it and it's fixed.  The cloth has no other constraints on it
that would conflict with it's own nail, no other constraints period.

Do these nails just go bad for some reason?  Can't think of anything
else that's doing this.  I've had this happen a ton of times in the last
week and am getting annoyed at constantly having to redo work because of
this.

any comments or ideas are appreciated.

cheers,

-M
