    Hey Guys

    I've gone through the options of SteamVR Circular drive and I can't seem to find a way to keep the velocity or momentum the object has when I release my grab button. This makes all door freeze in time as soon as I let go, which feels really odd. It also makes all doors feel really heavy. Am I missing something? Do any of you guys have an idea how I can get that to work (without having to refer to another toolkit)

    thanks in advance,

    Sebastiaan

    Not sure how that circular drive works but maybe there's a momentum setting on it, or else perhaps you have to add a RigidBody to it and configure it to have angular drag.

    Alternately you can make your own script on it to notice when it is moved and maintain motion for a short while after it is let go.
