Ball joint

Allows rotation around a point in any direction: an arm, suspension, a universal joint.

How to add

In 3D mode open the Mechanisms menu and choose a ready unit, or connect two bodies with a joint from the Parts menu.

Properties

Bodies A and B
The linked bodies. With no B the point is fixed to the world.
Anchor
x, y, z relative to body A.

Tips

  • A ball joint has no axis and no motor: to control motion use a regular hinge.
