Brief

The Axis tool does just as its name suggests; it creates an axis between two props. They are allowed to spin freely on the axis created and friction may be adjusted during the process.

Instructions

  1. Fire at any point on any object. A "ghost guide" will appear to show you where the object will be placed.
  2. Fire at any point on any other object. The first object snaps to the position of the second object, filling in the "ghost guide".

The two objects will now rotate axially around the point they are joined at, as if an axis of rotation had been stuck through it.

Variables

Force Limit 
The amount of force (in pounds) that it takes to break the axis joint.
Torque Limit 
This sets how resistant the rotation engine should be.
Friction 
If greater than zero, friction will be added to the axis joint, so that if it is set spinning, it will eventually slow down and stop. Higher numbers mean more friction.
No collide 
If selected, the two objects will pass freely through each other. This is appropriate for most cases, since the objects would otherwise scrape against each other and cause problems.
