[ODE] collision mesh

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

A single mesh does not need to be closed or manifold.

However, when you want to move only parts of it, I would suggest 
generating each part as a separate mesh, and attaching the meshes using 
a dGeomTransform() to allow changing the offset.

Or, if the "room" doesn't move, I'd actually recommend not using a body 
for the room at all, but instead attaching each mesh to the NULL (static 
environment) body.

Cheers,
