Hiding parameter dials: 1. Right-click your cr2 and choose 'open with...' = notepad. 2. Do a search for the name of the body part you want, using the phrase 'actor bodypartname', then find the line 'channels'. Like this... actor door:4 { name door off bend 0 dynamicsLock 0 hidden 0 addToMenu 1 castsShadow 1 includeInDepthCue 1 parent frame:4 channels 3. Channels lists all the dials and their functions. Here's the Xrotate dial... rotateX xrot { name xrot initValue 0 hidden 0 forceLimits 4 min 0 max 0 trackingScale 1 keys { static 0 k 0 0 } interpStyleLocked 0 } 4. The line that says 'hidden 0' means that the dial is NOT hidden. If you want to hide it, change 0 to 1, so it reads 'hidden 1'. 0 (zero) = on, or unhidden, and 1 (one) = off, or hidden. 5. Save the cr2 again, using the option 'all files' (not .txt), and save it with the extension .cr2. It's better to save it under a new name until you're sure you know what you're doing. 6. Open poser and find the cr2 in the library. It will not have a thumb, just the little shrugging guy. Check the parameter dials for that body part and the dial you modified should be hidden/unhidden. There are reasons to hide/unhide dials. For example, DAZ has a (to me) very annoying habit of hiding all the dials they think are unnecessary in their freebies. Well, maybe you want to rotate or move a body part and there's no dial. Just unhide it. What you do NOT want to do is mess with the Offset dials. They are meant to be hidden because when you open the joint editor it will automatically unhide them when you make alterations. This is one good reason for not doing a mass 'search and replace' for 'hidden 1' to 'hidden 0'. That would unhide the Offsets too. mac
