Default How to enter constraints for dynamic mesh

Spacehorse is on a distinguished road
Hi,

I would like to limit my constrain my geometry to 1 degree of rotational freedom, and no linear degrees of freedom.

I am trying to use the dynamic motion solver and believe I should use an axis constraint and a point constraint, this will achieve my aim of having 1 deg of freedom in rotation.

I haven't used vectors in a while and my problem comes with entering the axis as a vector.

Axis of rotation for the geometry is at point (-0.6364, 0, 0) and the axis is parallel to the z axis.

Below is how the axis needs to be defined:
NameofAxisConstraint
{
sixDoFRigidBodyMotionConstraint axis;
axis (1 0 0.25);
}

Please can some one help?
