:Type: Hinge
|
|
|
|
The hinge permits one degree of freedom between two objects. Translation is completely constrained.
|
|
Rotation is permitted about the Z axis of the object hosting the Physics constraint
|
|
(usually an :term:`Empty`, distinct from the two objects that are being linked).
|
|
Adjusting the position and rotation of the object hosting the constraint allows you to
|
|
control the anchor and axis of the hinge.
|
|
|
|
The Hinge is the only single-axis rotational constraint that uses the Z axis instead of the X axis.
|
|
If something is wrong with your hinge, check your other constraints to see if this might be the problem.
