Currently, when I went to remove (or reinstate) blend channels, or do surgery in the hierarchy structure, I text-edit the .CR2 file. Poser 6's massive size of many CR2 files caused by the new texture language, makes this more difficult. It would be useful if there were these features in Poser to do this to a character while it is on stage:- (1) If Poser detects that his .OBJ file now has a group which is not in the declared list of actors, offer to make a new actor for it, and ask him which existing part is to be that new actor's parent, and ask him to choose its joint angle order between xyz yzx zxy zyx yxz xzy. (2) Let the user change an existing joint's angle order between between xyz yzx zxy zyx yxz xzy. (3) Let the user change the parentage of a part. (4) Let the user delete an actor, at least if it is a "twig", i.e. if it has no children. (5) Cure the IK-on /IK-off joint angle conversion nuisances, like I have described before. One sensible way would be for a part which is an IK-goal to have an "actor" which always describes its relations with its ordinary parent, and also an "inkyActor" which always describes its relations with its IK-parent. That will also let it keep separate lists of blend information and joint parameter limits to be applied to its relations to its ordinary parent and to be applied to its relations to its IK-parent.
