Wall that allows particles but blocks air

    I've looked through the list of walls and can't find anything like this. Am I missing something? Is there some technical reason this can't be done? It seems like the kind of thing that would be there.

    Just look down.

    actually, this doesn't exist. I'm not really sure why though. I think it should be added, but I remember some reasons against it I think, maybe i'll ask simon.
    (it's sort of possible with TTAN with a tmp of 1 right now)

    It is hard to implement because particle movement relies on the air (pressure) simulator. blocking one would set the movement of the other to 0 (or in some cases not applicable). @jacob1 your a dev! you should know this!

    If such a wall were implemented, it should also be useful in preventing ambient heat from travelling into areas where it is unwanted.

    I do know that. That's actually not true, it does work. I made an example of the wall here:

    Gravity wall blocks ambient heat (but not normal airflow or particles).
