This command allows to create a sphere on plane joint between 2 rigid groups.

Creation stages / Use:

Click the icon or select Mechanism > Other joints > Sphere on plane... command from the drop-down menu.

1. Select the rigid group of the sphere.

2. Select the rigid group of the plane.

3. Select the center of the sphere, either by clicking the center point, or by clicking the sphere.

4. Enter the diameter of the sphere.

5. Select the plane. The arrow reverses the contact side of the sphere on the plane.

6. Check or uncheck Unileral. This option allows to have a non-permanent contact between the sphere and the plane, from the side chosen when the plane was selected. If this option is checked, you will be able to move the sphere rigid group until it touches the plane rigid group. The rigid groups can be separated, but can't intersect themselves.

7. Check or uncheck No slipping. When No slide is checked, the sphere rolls in relation to the plane. Otherwise, it slides on the plane.
