As built joint solution

[smallfavor]

I'm trying to fashion an armature and I'd like to have some compents rotate around a cylinder.  I keep getting everything but what I want.  Is what I'm trying to do not possible?  How is this done.  I thought revolute would do but the objects keep lining up.

Yes, Revolute Joint is what you want for that. What is it doing that you don't want it to do? Be sure to select the correct axis of rotation and the correct order of components, first what you want to move then what you want it to revolve around.

Okay, I figured it out.  Thanks!
