Now use the transform group to rotate the cylinder through 1.56 and move it through x= -1.8

You should now have a file as here.

Now do a deep copy of the transformGroup, and paste this under the transform group.

You should now have a file as here.

Now add a constraintBean under this new transformGroup

set the translation to be fixed and the rotation to move within bounds.

This means that the joint can bend but is otherwise fixed to the transformGroup below it.

Also enable 'chain', this mean that if the program cant move the transform group to the desired place because of the constraints, then it is allowed to modify the transformGroup above it in the chain.

You should now have a file as here.

Now continue adding sections of the arm, below the previous transformGroups in the chain.

You should now have a file as here.

Now at the end of the chain add a box.

You should now have a file as here.

Now if you drag the box, the arm joints will rotate to remain attached. This is inverse kinematics.

Warning this functionality may not be fully implemented in the current version of the program.
