[ODE] Complex Body Creation

[achaudhry]

hi, 
in addition to the last mail, I think so my single composite body is not
created properly. 
Can anyone please explain me the Boxoffset functions as well as the Geom
Transform , 
The info on WIKI regarding this was helpful but more help is needed. 

thanks, 
Amber
