Have a look at this thread: ["moveWithCollisions" with havoc? - #12 by aWeirdo](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/movewithcollisions-with-havoc/40118/12)  
Setting some axis of the inertia to zero should be the same as locking an axis by multiplying the same axis by zero, as other physics engines do. At least I think so 😛
