- [Instructor] We spent some time in the last video setting up a very basic definition with our Kangaroo solver. Now that we have a basic setup, let's add in a couple additional goals and see what happens when they start to interact all together. I'm continuing here in the exercise file labeled, 004-kangaroo-basics.gh. Let's bring our other point into the mix here and let's combine it with our first point and this line goal. So the line goal takes as its input basically a line or an edge, so that's this first input it here, and it tries to constrain that line to a certain length. It has a strength setting which determines basically how hard our solver should try to make the line be as long as we're asking it to be. If we don't input any length, the goal will be to keep the line at its original length. So what I like to do is to make a line between these two points, and we'll plug it into our length line component. So, I'll double-click, pull up a line component, and we'll just make…
