Hi

Question for the join experts.
I am not using the built in collision detection stuff. So I need to =
create my own dContact data for the contact=20
joint creation. The docs say that this data is created bt the collision =
detection dCollied() function. I fill in the surface stuff but there is =
a geom structure that holds pos, depth an normal that dCollied supplies. =
I can fill this too, but it looks to me like there's some other stuff in =
there (pointers to pos and rotation matrix etc). Can anyone tell me how =
much of this dContact data is needed by the contact joint at creation =
time.

Brian.. =20
