                                       p_wc, 
                                       POINT, 
                                       p_spalign,

Comments

When point_2 is used instead of a vector, the axis of the tire is defined by the vector passing through point_1 and point_2.

To avoid the graphic being visible during MotionSolve result animation in HyperView, set the hide_in_post attribute to {{true}}. For example: *Set(gra_link.hide_in_post, true). This option will set the graphic component's visibility to be turned off when the result H3D is loaded in HyperView.
