Parent Space At this sub-object level, you can move and rotate the
representation of the Rag Doll for the parent body. The constraint axes are
defined in the parent body's space, which means that if you alter the position
or rotation of the parent, the space moves as well and maintain its offset
rotation and translation with respect to the parent. When you assign a parent
body to the Rag Doll, Parent Space is also aligned with the child body's local
space, with the attachment point at the child body's pivot point, the twist
axis aligned with the child's X axis, and the plane normal aligned to the child’s
Y axis. If the Rag Doll is single-bodied, then Parent Space represents the world
orientation and position of the constraint.
Child Space At this sub-object level, you can move and rotate the
representation of the Rag Doll for the child body. The constraint axes are
defined in the child body's space, which means that if you alter the position
or rotation of the child, the space moves as well and maintain its offset rotation
and translation with respect to the child. When you assign a child body to
the Rag Doll, the Child Space is positioned so that the attachment point
coincides with the child body pivot point, and the twist axis is aligned with
the child's X axis.
NOTE While the Child Space sub-object has its own representation of the plane
and plane normal, these are not displayed at this sub-object level, as the plane
normal can be edited only in the parent body's space.
Plane Rotation This sub-object level allows independent rotation of the plane
normal with respect to the Parent Space. This means that your plane normal
doesn’t have to be perpendicular to your twist axis, allowing for a greater
ranger of constraint setups. However, it should be noted that non-orthogonal
systems affect the way reactor handles non-symmetrical cone limits.
