PHY MAKE CYLINDRICAL JOINT ID, A, B, anchorX#, anchorY#, anchorZ#, axisX#, axisY#, axisz#

PHY MAKE CYLINDRICAL JOINT ID, A, B

ID

Integer
identification number of the joint, joint ID numbers are unique

A

Integer
first rigid body object to be attached to the joint, must be a valid rigid body

B

Integer
second rigid body object to be attached to the joint, must be a valid rigid body

anchorX#

Float
anchor point on X axis

anchorY#

Float
anchor point on Y axis

anchorZ#

Float
anchor point on Z axis

axisX#

Float
direction on X axis

axisY#

Float
direction on Y axis

axisz#

Float
direction on Z axis

There are two approaches to creating a cylindrical joint. The command can be called passing in a full set of parameters to create the joint in one line ( some defaults are used when this is the case ). If you choose this option then the joint is built straight away. Alternatively make a cylindrical joint passing in three parameters and then proceed to set properties such as the local anchor etc and finally build the joint using phy build cylindrical joint. The second option for creating a cylindrical joint may be preferable when you want complete control over the settings.

Note that joint ID numbers are unique and not shared with any other ID ranges therefore it is perfectly valid to have a model loaded into ID 1 and a joint with an ID of 1.
