So I resized the container but still that smaller white box doesn't go the full size and it cutting off the bottom of my smoke sim. Is there a way to make it bigger or move it down?

Sorry I dont know the technical names…

I attached a screenshot showing my problem

By default, the Reference Field inside the resize_container node of the AutoDopNetwork only tracks the density field. Try typing the word temperature after density. This will cause the resize_container to base it's bounding area on both fields, not just density. I also switch to the Max Bounds tab and deactivate Clamp To Maximum. Under Bounds tab I usually up padding to 0.5.

If those tips don't work go ahead and post your example file.

Thanks! Super weird. So I tried actually a lot of them things you mentioned yesterday and couldn't get it to work properly. I literally just opened the file and now its a lot better. I feel like some of my changes dont get updated in my sims or something.

I had this weird problem with the glue constraint too. I think I mentioned it in my other thread, but I can change something else and the glue will just change. So whenever I change a setting, i have to like offset my glue strength by 1, for it to “update” or something. Weird.
