It seems that every time I save a figure(A3,V3 or M3)to a pz3 file I get all of these extra unwanted blank and other dials that start with PBMDC,PBMCC or MIC(depending on what body part I select) that show up in the dials. I already have the Morph Cleaner app that can take care of the blank dials, but nothing so far will hide or do anything with the other unwanted dials. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciatted.

I can relate. I have no idea what that PBMDC etc stuff is... but all I know is that it's all ZERO on the dial and shouldn't be there! LOL

CC = Community channels and DC = Daz channels. They are supposed to be there Acadia, or you'd have nothing to inject morphs into :) Dial Cleaner is supposed to remove all empty channels. Have you contacted the creator about it not working correctly?

I've also just tried Dial Cleaner which does remove all the unwanted dials but also removes all of the dials listed when you have the body(the full body)selected. I've also noticed that when you select each body part and use the dials to adjust the extent of the morph all of the dials with PBMDC,PBMCC and MIC return. I'm starting to become very annoyed as I have to hunt for the dials of the morphs through all of these.

Ok! I've just found a python script by Ockham in the freestuffs utilities section. One file called Dialcleaners with two scripts(one that hides dials with"-" as the name and the other one that hides dials that are set to zero)they work perfect for what I need(even though you have to run them each time you open the pz3 file). A BIG thanks goes out to Ockham for ending my migranes caused by hairpulling.

Just caught this thread.... Glad my script works. Would there be any purpose in choosing to wipe the PBMDC,PBMCC or MIC types separately? Or do you always want to wipe all the unused ones?

Mainly it's the PBMDC,PBMCC and MIC. They usually show up together and can go from 01-80 which burries most of the regular morph dials. As for the unused ones or the "-" ones they tend to show up only when the ones mentioned above appear, otherwise you can get them if you remove some of the injection morphs but will go away when you click on another body part. I guess doing that somehow refreshes the dials(weird). Also was wondering on how to have your scripts work automatically when I open the pz3 files(I'm using the automatic scripts that you included)and don't quite understand how to do this. Again thanks for any advice or help.

Frankly, I don't quite understand how to make scripts work automatically either! More seriously, I think the attempted automation of this script just isn't effective. Poser insists on forcing dials into existence at startup, so even when the script has installed itself into the PZ3, it doesn't seem to do any good. You'll just have to use it manually. Would you like a separate remover for all PBM/PBMCC/MIC that are currently zero? Would that be a good rule?

ockham: no problem about the automation I don't mind doing it manually as it takes care of the problem. As for your last question, everytime they appear they are all set to zero. I haven't found any so far that have appeared with any other setting. However since I'm not familiar with them I guess using the zero rule would be a good safeguard.

ockham: just tried the PBMDCcleaner script and all I can say is WOW! It not only removed or hid the PBMDC,PBMCC and MIC dials but it also took care of the "-" named dials as well. Excellent job, I now only have to use the one script to take care of both problems. Thanks again for the fast response.

Great! I'll edit the freestuff entry to use this new zip.

All the more reason i refuse to use those Unimess inject/rem figures LONG LIVE M2/V2!!!!!

LONG LIVE OCKHAM - GOD OF PYTHON TOO! :o)

If there was a way to cause non-zero or recently used dials to turn color - what a teriffic timesaver that would be! No more scrolling up and down hunting for a recently used dial.

"Unimess" That's a good one!
