How to exit animation mode when using physics This is a very basic question. I'm using tutorials to learn how to use physics in Blender. I made a cube and lifted it above a plane and clicked Alt-A to run the animation and let the cube fall.

How do I exit the animation so that the cube reapers back in its position in the air? (right now it's on the plane where it fell.
You can go back to the first frame of your animation to return objects and physics to their starting states and positions.  Click the  button or press Shift+Ctrl+Down Arrow while the animation is paused.



To pause playback, press Esc, or toggle play/pause with Alt+A.
