I'm trying to get two stars to orbit each other around a common center of gravity, It took a little while but I got it, but when I tried to setup a new limb strcture for the planets I can the error limb does not extist.
Is it possible to have two seperate limb structures in the same app.?
thanks for your time.

If you made a simpler version without media, not only would it be easier for you to debug, but we could easily see what you are doing. But yeah, it should be possible...

Right , Sorry about that, here's a no media version, what I would like to do is to add limbs to the "suns" for planets to orbit. I need a limb to link to the second sun object #3, the first planet being object #4
but when I try---

link limb 4,1,3

I get the error "limb does not exist",
Thanks again for the help

ok even a simpler way to ask, if I have three objects

object 1 is the parent (limb 2,0)
object 2 is is linked to object 1 (limb 2,1)
now I need to link object 3 to limb 2,1 not 2,0
is this possible?
