It's not clear what many of the functions measurement units are in.
For instance what is the meaning of the values set for friction, restitution, damping etc?

What relational value should be set, or are they literal?

I'm assuming if I want no friction I set 0, but what does 1.0 or 10.0 relate to?
I can set the values and read them, but I have no idea what they are actually representing. The help could do with a major refit.

Same for many of the other physics commands.

i agree, the online docu is not good.
every argument with a value should describe a range.
because there is not a force used, i guess its between 0.0 to 1.0
similar 0 to 100% or none and full, no and yes

i believe restitution is bouncing, damping is like going across water.
