# IKRig.Joint

A definition of a rig joint and its IK solver settings.

```
struct Joint
```

## Topics

### Structures

[`struct ID`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/ID-swift.struct)

The identity type for a joint in a rig.

[`struct LimitsDefinition`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/LimitsDefinition)

A definition of joint rotation limits.

### Initializers

[`init(name: String, parentID: IKRig.Joint.ID?, restTransform: Transform)`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/init(name:parentID:restTransform:))

Creates a joint with the provided base elements.

### Instance Properties

[`var active: Bool`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/active)

A boolean value that sets whether the solver rotates the joint.

[`var fkWeightPerAxis: SIMD3<Float>`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/fkWeightPerAxis)

The per-axis weight of the FK demand on the joint.

[`var id: IKRig.Joint.ID`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/id-swift.property)

The identifier of the joint.

[`var limits: IKRig.Joint.LimitsDefinition?`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/limits)

The per-axis rotation limits of the joint.

[`let name: String`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/name)

The name of the joint.

[`var parentID: IKRig.Joint.ID?`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/parentID)

The identifier of the parent joint if there is one.

[`var restTransform: Transform`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/restTransform)

The local space transformation of the joint in the solver’s rest pose.

[`var rotationStiffness: SIMD3<Float>`](/documentation/RealityKit/IKRig/Joint/rotationStiffness)

The per-axis rotational stiffness of the joint.
