[ODE] Displaced mass

Ah! Righto :)

although it's a one-liner.

Yes, I'd read that, but somehow it hadn't sunk in.


> instead use a dGeomTransform object that encapsulates your dGeom. 

Right. So just to clarify, the steps would be something like:

1) Create dBody
2) Create dGeom
3) Create dGeomTransform 
4) Attach dGeom to dGeomTransform 
5) Attach dGeomTransform to dBody
6) Move dGeom in the opposite direction to the mass I want displaced
7) Use dGeom as the collision primitive

Thanks a lot for your help!
