I need to make a domino reaction scene for a project of mine, however I have never used reactor before so I am learning as I go, I understand perfectly that it’s much easier to work with if you have real like sizes, weights, etc. yet that doesn’t help me to understand as to why when I go to preview my animation all of the dominoes simply jump and fall randomly if anyone can please help me to understand how to make a domino simulation I would be great full, attached is my test file so you can look at it and let me know how i can fix it, thank you…

...for some reason I can’t post my max file, I don’t know why there’s no message or anything it just wont post

well heck I knew I was doing all the settings right the whole time, this one guy on youtube explained that if any of the objects were touching then they just fall right through the floor and that’s what my problem was
