Excerpt

A Joint that rotates around a single axis.

Name

Description

Limit Rotation

If true, limit the rotation to certain values.

Lower Rotation

The lower rotation limit.

Upper Rotation

The upper rotation limit.

Lower Stop

Snap Position: Snap the joint into the position of the upper bound when the Joint is within a certain range. This is useful for mimicking machinery that snaps parts into place as users move them.

Snap Threshold: The threshold from the lower bound in which to apply the snap force.

Limit Threshold: The threshold from the lower bound in which to fire the “In Limit” and “On Limit Reached” events.

In Limit: Fired when a joint is inside the limit. Fires on Start as well as when a Joint newly enters the limit.

On Limit Reached: Only fired when a Joint newly enters a limit (i.e. not on Start). Distinguished from In Limit for applying effects only when a Joint moves into a limit (e.g. haptic).

On Limit Exited: Fires when a joint leaves a limit as defined by the Limit Threshold.

Snap Force: Force to apply to the joint if Snap Position is true and the joint is within the Snap Threshold. For Hinge Joints, this is the torque.

Upper Stop

As above, except for the upper limit.
