Description Hello,
I have a question regarding collision detection between links in an articulated object while using RaiSim.
I am working with an xhand URDF and would like to disable collisions between right_hand_link and right_hand_index_rota_link1.

Currently, it seems that collision filtering options are primarily available for direct parent-child pairs. However, I need to prevent collisions between links that are two steps apart (i.e., between a "grandparent" link and a "grandchild" link).
Visual summary:
Red connection is possible to neglect collision, but green connection is impossible (BUT I NEED).
As far as I can tell, this doesn't seem to be adjustable within the current scope of my access. Is there a way to handle this, or could you provide guidance on how to implement such a filter?
Thank you.
