We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Promote the Remote Force to a Remote Point.  Apply a Remote Displacement and scope it to the Remote Point you just created. If the axis of the spring is the Y axis,  set X = 0 and Z = 0 and leave Y to be Free. That will constrain the Remote Point to move only along the Y axis.
