  I needed to make a hose connector with a screw thread, see image.
  But the hose screwing into the connector has a left-handed thread.
  the obvious way to make a thread is to sweep a spline along a helix. There is no way I could find to make a left-handed helix!
  I solved the problem by using a right-handed helix, using a mirror to get a left-handed one, then converting the prinitives to meshes with "current state to object", then deleting the right-handed thread.

  Why is there no way to choose the handedness of the helix?

  Here's a workaround:

  Instead of a Collider Tag, use a RBD and set the "Follow Position" & "Follow Rotation" to a very high value. Select the points of the Cloth you want to "stick" to the Box Use a connector Tag on the cloth, and use the selected points and a large Search Radius so the cloth can "find" the box. Set the Connector Stretchiness to the highest value possible (infinity) Animate the stretchiness from infinite to 1000 in a single keyframe and then slowly to 0 to avoid a sudden "twitch"
  Done...

  Hi task-reflection,

  Then I hope Insydium LTD has informed Maxon Tech Support. I fear they didn't, as I couldn't find any entry for 2026.0 with the term 'xpExplosiaFX', nor any recent entry for 2025.x

  I'm not even supposed to handle Tech Support questions, especially those that require developer attention.

  For over a year, I haven't received a single XP question here so that I couldn't justify the maintenance cost anymore. Insydium doesn't support people running a forum, as far as I am aware. In short, I'm sorry, I have no option but to confirm this problem.

  Please check directly with Tech Support.

  All the best
