I've come across this too. Perhaps we could add an option to Surface
force fields to only apply the force in the direction of the face
normal? That way you could make a solid shape that repels hair, cloth
and particles that are inside it. For example, the force effector on
the cube in this example [1] could always push outwards instead of
trapping the cloth and particles inside.
