    The Dummy does nothing except be an invisible pretend hinge.

    It can be used for extra stabilization on physics enabled items by being glued to.


    Sorry if I am incorrect, but this is how I use them. Hopefully someone with better/complete info can chime in.

    No Shifty you are right. That is pretty much what they are used for.
    Another thing you can use them for is to have one at each end of an object and connect them to something and enable physics for the middle section. This gives you a sort of spring ramp

    Sort of. With the dummy you get a slightly different effect.
