MarkerBodyMass
==============

A marker attached to the body mass; use this marker to apply a body-load (e.g. gravitational force).

\ **Additional information for MarkerBodyMass**\ :

* | This \ ``Marker``\  has/provides the following types = \ ``Object``\ , \ ``Body``\ , \ ``BodyMass``\ 


The item \ **MarkerBodyMass**\  with type = 'BodyMass' has the following parameters:

* | **name** [type = String, default = '']:
  | marker's unique name
* | **bodyNumber** [type = ObjectIndex, default = invalid (-1)]:
  | body number to which marker is attached to
* | **visualization** [type = VMarkerBodyMass]:
  | parameters for visualization of item



The item VMarkerBodyMass has the following parameters:

* | **show** [type = Bool, default = True]:
  | set true, if item is shown in visualization and false if it is not shown
