All Implemented Interfaces:

jme3utilities.Loadable

public abstract class WheelModel
extends java.lang.Object
implements jme3utilities.Loadable

A computer-graphics (C-G) model for a wheel. By convention, the model has radius=0.5 model units and the local +X axis points inward, toward the middle of the axle.
