Subject: How to switch off the red outlines, when posing a figure?

How do I switch off the red guidelines in a figure, when posing it (see image)? Especially when doing face adjustments, these lines almost drive me crazy, because I cannot see, what I am doing. By the way, I'm using P5 SR2. Anybody can give me a hint?

Try moving your mouse outside the red area (without clicking on anything). I THINK it helps.

To go with that, move your Parameter Dials dialog out of the Document window as Poser will still read your mouse location in the Document even if over the dialog. BYS

If you really want them off completely, I stumbled across a setting in the P4 "poser.ini" file that toggles them on or off.

Check out this thread for the details.

Go to the display menu and turn off the figure circles. The drawback of doing this is that you lose your figure circles, if you use them, but it does ditch the outline, as well.

Cage, my P4 does not seem to work that way. Even with Figure Circles turned off in the Display menu, the red highlights will still appear as soon as I start adjusting a dial. Does it act differently on yours, or is that a P5 thing, (just noticed Sentenza was in P5) or did I perhaps just misunderstand?


Cage ( ) posted Sun, 23 February 2003 at 7:42 PM

Works for me in P5. I have never tried it in P4. I was having the same trouble Sentenza was having and just kind of stumbled onto the effect. Sometimes I forget that I've turned them off, y'know, and and I end of confusing myself, so I've found it a mixed blessing. It really has helped when I doing facial morphs with magnets, for instance....

Thanks! I'll go append the original thread noting the P4/P5 differences.

Ooo! Where is this thread?

My link in #4 above. But I just added to it so it ought to pop-up when you refresh.


Sentenza ( ) posted Sun, 23 February 2003 at 8:13 PM

Just found something out, myself: If you choose "Color" in the toolbar, and do deformation then, the outlines are gone! The other trick with the poser.ini also works fine, thanks for the hint!

I don't konw if this has been noticed yet. Yesterday I accidentially placed the cursor on the borderline of the hierarchy editor, clicked and pulled away - and this window resized! That wold mean no more "keyhole surgery" for many of us! Willy

Jobcontrol, Are you talking p4 or p5? If p4, I can't get mine to do anything. Tried everywhere. Can you tell me exactly where you clicked? I know if you click in the bottom right corner, inside the small square with 2 shaded triangles, the hier editor expands down in increments of about 50 pixels, but I can't get it to go back up again with out altering the poser.ini If you go into prefs and open the poser.ini, you can can change the size of the various editors there. Just change HIER_EDITOR_SIZE - I made mine longer and wider. mac

maclean: In P4 (v4.2.1 .177) (that's PPP) putting the cursor over the two triangles and pulling expands and contracts the hier editors window totally smooth (i.e. not in any noticable increments). In P5 (v5.0.2 .268) (that's with SR2.1) the cursor can be placed on any spot of the border. On the horizontal border you can expand/contract vertically (up/down), on the vertical border you can expand/contract horizontally (left/right). On the lower right hand corner you can do the things in all directions. The cursor takes the forms which are common in Windows (double arrows, diagonal arrows etc.) So I think it is a Windows thing, i.e. the GUI behaves like the OS is set to do. I use WinXP home on a P4 1.8GHz with 1GB RAM and some 60GB HD. Willy

Thanks jobcontrol. I have poser 4, without PPP, so that explains it. mac
