    Hi

    I hope someone can assist.

    I have a bunch of 3D objects that stack randomly after instantiated. The player can then remove objects at will, however if he/she removes one of the objects with others resting upon it, the top objects don't move. (Gravity appears to turn off if the objects become static?) Is there a way I can force gravity on again?

    Not even sure if that is the problem.

    The rigidbodies are sleeping. Until a force is applied (including collisions but excluding built in gravity and resting joints) the rigidbody does not process physically. You can also call Rigidbody.WakeUp.
