      I noticed when I attached the rigid body constraint to vertex A of my cube but vertex B is higher, I would expect that vertex A would become the highest vertex. However the rotation is not affected by gravity. Is this something that will be addressed in later lessons?

          Good question Jonatan!

          This Constraint is ‘stiff’, like when a clock’s pendulum is welded asymmetrically…something like this:

          Does that make sense?

          You can get something that behaves the way you’d expect, by combining this with a Hinge Constraint, but as far as I know, there is no single Constraint that does that.

            Thank you for the clarification. And yes it makes sense!
