hi
if something got simulated between 0 - 1000 input play start works fine.
but if you simulate lets say 567 - 897 play start wont move it to what you set it to you have to take into consideration 567 frames please make it where no matter between what frame simulation was done, once you type in a certain number to input play start that is when it will start playing the simulation Thank you
huh? You set your cache start to 567 and then dictate when that plays out using the play start.. Your post is a little confusing but the way you have suggested would remove some flexibility so the current way is pretty good 
thanks! I did not know you can do this.
Just set Cache Start=0 and Play Start=5000. This means that it would play the first cache file (no matter the index) in the folder from frame 5000. If you set Cache start=100 for example, it would play the 100th cache file as first.
Hey,
Cache Start = 5400 and Play Start = 5000 is indeed the correct way to set it up - this means “put cache 5400 at frame 5000”. Just tested it with a simple scene and seems correct here. Could you double check that? When you go to frame 5000, is there any cache info loaded in the Simulation rollout?
Cheers!
Sorry, my fault. The way Svetlin explained it should work.
Thats exactly how I said to do it in the first place
Lol Thank you all!
It actually did not work when I did 5400 cache and 5000 start . Now it works! 3ds max magic after restart
Nice Cheers man!
