-			The collision margin for the shape.
+			The collision margin for the shape. Used in Bullet Physics only.
+			Collision margins allows collision detection to be more efficient by adding an extra shell around shapes. Collision algorithms are more expensive when objects overlap by more than their margin, so a higher value for margins is better for performance, at the cost of accuracy around edges as it makes them less sharp.
