Joint SetPin() & GetPin()

[SpiderPig]

I believe we need a setter and getter for the pin, like for the plane joint.  Other wise the only way to change this is to delete and reconstruct the plane joint.

Joint::SetPin()

Joint::GetPin()

Wouldn't you want to just rotate the parent?

[SpiderPig]

...maybe.  But I think it would be easier just to change the pin instead of setting up multiple joints.  Pretty sure newton has the ability to change the pin.

I don't think it does. I am looking in dCustomHinge.h and I don't see any method to set the pin once it is created.

I'm not sure how you've implemented the plane joint, but up vector has a function for that.  Which sounds like a plane joint to me...

I am using the dCustomPlane class. I think the UpVector joint only controls rotation, so it's basically a more limited version of the kinematic joint.

Ah okay.  I guess I can use multiple joints if there's no other way.
