Weights

Each constraint has an animated weight track. Weights range from 0 to 120, with 60 being nominal. The value is decibels, meaning 20 units changes the weight by a factor of 10. Thus, the total weight range is 0.001 to 1000.0.

Excessively large weight values can de-stabilize the equations, producing a less- accurate result. We advise sticking with the default values to begin with, and only increasing a weight if needed to reduce difference values after a solve has been obtained. On a difficult solve where there is much contradictory information, it may be more helpful to reduce the weight, to make the equations more flexible and better able to find a decent solution.
