I'll get back to the example later- Limbs are what make up the 3d objects. you can rotate,scale,etc. them and make 3d animation with them.

To add a limb the oject you wish to make a limb needs to be a mesh. Use 'Make mesh from object'.
To add a limb use 'Add limb'
To make a limb parent/child relasionship (i.e when the top part of the leg otates the bottom does too) use 'link limb'.
To rotate a limb use 'rotate limb'.
To scale a limb use 'scale limb'.
to colour/texture a limb us 'color/texture limb'
To scale a limb use 'scale limb'.
There are more... but I've forgotten.

This kind of thread isn't going to get many answers, all this stuff is covered in tutorials and the help file.

In programming, nothing exists

Limbs can also fix the z buffer drawing order flicker. If you put objects close together they can flicker, but if you make the front object a limb of the back object they do not flicker anymore.
