i'm trying to drop some bolts onto a (growing) pile of bolts.
(each bolt is in a group{} )

http://jwstolk.afreehost.net/mechsim_problem.png

but:
collision { 0,0,2 ...} does not seem to work
(the connection-connection collisions do not happen.)
collision { 0,0,1 ...} also does not work.
collision { 1,1,1 ...} still does not do connection-connection collisions.
i'm using 80000 steps, witch very low speeds, so i don't think it will be
possible that the connections move past each other within a single step.
(face-connection collisions and face-face collisions also do not work,
but i think they are not supposed to work anyway)

is adding lot's of masses and then doing mass-face collisions the
only solution?

any suggestions?
Jaap.
