      I'm also a newbie to the Sketchyphysics, I've tried to figure this out but could use a little instruction. I would like to have a container, with an object inside of it, to be raised to a certain point and then pivot and discharge the object. I've tried all sorts of combinations of joints, but no luck. I also had a sphere in the container, but it wouldn't stay confined to the container.

      I would appreciate any constructive assistance. I would also like to find a site that explains (in layman's terms) how to use, position and combine different joints. Thanks in advance.

        Check out http://sketchyphysics.wikia.com/wiki/SketchyPhysicsWiki.
        To combine joints you will typically need intermediary groups. You can not have non convex colliding single group. You can use fixed joints for that. Face directions are relevant.
        I suggest look at my grouping in the case.
