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

Creation stages / Use:

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

1. Select the rigid group of the sphere.

2. Select the rigid group of the shape.

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

4. Enter the diameter of the sphere.

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

6. Check or uncheck Unilateral. This option allows to have a non-permanent contact between the sphere and the shape, 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 shape 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 shape. Otherwise, it slides on the shape.
