Detailed Description

Abstract PL physics mesh body.

Remarks:: Tree collision is the preferred method for collision with polygonal meshes of arbitrary complexity. The mesh must be made of flat non-intersecting polygons, but they do not explicitly need to be triangles. Tree collision can be serialized by the application to/from an arbitrary storage device.
If concave polygons are added to the tree collision, the variable 'Optimize' must be set to 1. With the optimize variable set to 1, we will optimize the collision mesh by removing non essential edges from adjacent flat polygons. We will not change the topology of the mesh but significantly reduces the number of polygons in the mesh. The reduction factor of the number of polygons in the mesh depends upon the irregularity of the mesh topology. A reduction factor of 1.5 to 2 is common. If the variable optimize is set to zero, will leave the mesh geometry unaltered.

Note:

When a mesh is assigned to a body the mass of the body is ignored in all dynamics calculations. This makes the body behave as a static body.
The "TwoSided" material parameter should be supported
