Fixing a collision model and slow falling speed

[jason278]

Ok so I have been porting some FO3 things and I have noticed two things.

1. Some models have a bad collision, when I want to place a model on something with an open space it spazzes out and reacts as if there was a invisible barrier. Good example would be the workbench from my FO3 props pack [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=92969[/url]

2. Larger scaled models seem to have a slow falling speed when lifted and dropped.

If needed here is a QC from a model that suffers from both of my problems

$cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3dsMax8\meshes\Crashed UFO"
$modelname "FO3_CrashedUFO.mdl"
$model "studio" "UFO.smd"
$cdmaterials "models/Jason278/"

$hboxset "default"
$surfaceprop "metal"
$keyvalues  { prop_data { "base" "metal.Small"  } } 
$sequence idle "UFO.smd" fps 1.00
$collisionmodel "UFO.smd" {
	$concave
	$mass 0.2
	$inertia 1.00
	$damping 0.00
	$rotdamping 0.00
}

If you want to get straight to the point, here is a video showing my problem

For your collision model, you'll have to make a simplified mesh for it to use.
And for your weight.

Change the mass to something other than 0.2...

This might be usefull.

Thanks, the second link seems pretty useful from what I'm reading

A mass of 1 is the mass of the soda can from HL2. On a larger model, 0.2 is ridiculous.
