You can find it under the Physics tab in Studio's settings menu. ## Properties ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AllowSleep ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Performance" } ``` When set to true, physically simulated objects will stop being simulated if they have little to no motion for a set period of time. ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreAnchorsShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` When set to true, parts that are [BasePart.Anchored](/docs/reference/engine/classes/BasePart.md) will show a gray surface outline on the surface of the part's bounding box that is currently facing the ground. ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreAssembliesShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` When set to true, each physics assembly is assigned a unique color and the [Part](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Part.md) associated with the assembly are outlined with the color.

Used for Humanoids. | | | Free-Fall Body | Physics Body that is freely moving with no physical contact. | | | Joint Body | Physics Body that is being influenced by a physically simulated joint, such as a Motor or a Hinge. | | | Contact Body | Physics Body that is in contact with another physics body. | | | Symmetric Contact Body | Physics Body that is experiencing a torquing force, while in contact with another body. | | | Vertical Contact Body | Physics Body that is moving very little along the Y plane, while in contact with another body. | ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreCollisionCostsShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "RobloxScriptSecurity", "write": "RobloxScriptSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreConstraintForcesShownForSelectedOrHoveredInstances ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "RobloxScriptSecurity", "write": "RobloxScriptSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreConstraintTorquesShownForSelectedOrHoveredInstances ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "RobloxScriptSecurity", "write": "RobloxScriptSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreContactForcesShownForSelectedOrHoveredAssemblies ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "RobloxScriptSecurity", "write": "RobloxScriptSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreContactIslandsShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` When set to true, each contact island will render [SelectionBox](/docs/reference/engine/classes/SelectionBox.md) adorns on the parts in contact islands, where each contact island is assigned a random color. ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreContactPointsShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` When set to true, sphere adorns will be drawn at the contact points of each part where physics interactions are occurring. Each sphere also has an arrow drawn in 3D, facing the surface that the contact point is detecting. #### Solver Variations The behavior of this property varies depending on whether Roblox's physics engine is using the `PGS Physics Solver`, or the `Spring Physics Solver`. This is controlled by the [Workspace.PGSPhysicsSolverEnabled](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Workspace.md) property. ##### Spring Physics Solver When [Workspace.PGSPhysicsSolverEnabled](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Workspace.md) is set to false, the contact points are color coded as listed below. The length of the arrow extruding from the sphere depends on how much force the contact point is exerting, and what the contact type is. | Color | Contact Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | | Normal Contact | Contact point with no special conditions. | | | Resting Contact | Contact point that has been active for at least 4 frames. | | | Second Pass Contact | Contact point that was made by a kernel joint going through a second pass. Rarely seen. | | | Real-Time Contact | Contact point that was made with a real-time physics body. This applies to tripped [Humanoid](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Humanoid.md). | | | Joint Contact | Contact point that was made under the context of a physically simulated joint. This applies to Motors and Hinges. | PGS Physics Solver When [Workspace.PGSPhysicsSolverEnabled](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Workspace.md) is set to true, the contact points are always colored **RED**, and the length of the arrow will always be 1 stud. There are no special conditions tracked, because the PGS solver does not keep specific lookup tables for the states listed in the Spring Solver. | Color | Contact Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | | Normal Contact | Contact point with no special conditions. | ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreGravityForcesShownForSelectedOrHoveredAssemblies ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "RobloxScriptSecurity", "write": "RobloxScriptSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreJointCoordinatesShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` When set to true, XYZ axes are rendered at the [BasePart.CFrame](/docs/reference/engine/classes/BasePart.md) of every part. ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreMagnitudesShownForDrawnForcesAndTorques ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "RobloxScriptSecurity", "write": "RobloxScriptSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreMechanismsShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` When set to true, every individual mechanism of parts is given a unique color. ### Property: PhysicsSettings.AreModelCoordsShown ```json { "type": "boolean", "access": "ReadOnly", "security": { "read": "PluginSecurity", "write": "PluginSecurity" }, "serialization": { "can_load": true, "can_save": true }, "thread_safety": "ReadSafe", "category": "Display" } ``` An ancient property that hasn't work correctly since late 2007.
