Is there anyone that can help me on why I am not able to bend the legs on my Victoria v4.1 model? I change the bend and it moves only slightly....

Under the Figure menu on the top bar, uncheck Use Inverse Kinematics for the legs.

Oh, alright thanks for that small bit of information...

Just something I learned a long time ago ... and it makes a difference.

You will be endlessly annoyed by this as well.  No matter what you do, Poser always enables leg IK when loading a figure from the Library.  You can make (or find) a little Pose file that turns them off - that's about it.

I'm endlessly doing this same thing - load figure, go directly to Figure menu to disable leg IKs.  How hard can it be to add a preference switch to change this behavior - it might take an entire hour!

A preference switch for IK would be wonderful!  Maybe that should go on the P8 wishlist?

Same here, that's the first thing I do after loading up a new figure. IK should be off by default.

It's not Poser. IK is switched on by the maker of your CR2 file. So Poser HAS TO switch it on. Edit your file and IK is never switched on again.

Well, I always switch off IK when creating my characters and the next time I load one of my character .cr2 files IK is back on so .......................

Yeah, but why can't content creators (except maybe eF) do this renaming up front and save us the bother?  I have probably 100? 200? figures in my library and that's quite a bit of work.  How about a simple script (Python sounds promising here) to traverse your Runtime and find every instance of inkyChain in a CR2 and rename the target ones.  And what about poses?  I would think that any pose that depends on IK (for whatever reason) would need the change similarly - though I doubt that this occurs often.

Well, I never distribute a .cr2 file so that's not an issue with my products.  I, too, always turn off IK when I first load a character.  I like kuroyume0161's idea about a python script that would turn off IK for all .cr2 files.

Well, I spend a fair amount of time in Poser switching IK off ...   and probably an equal amount switching it back on again.   Sometimes, it's useful.   Sometimes, it's a pain in the posterior.    I happen to think that IK should be enabled by default, but that's just my personal taste.

A cool thing that would help workflow would be a means other than menus to enable/disable IK.  I use checkboxes for each figure (tag) in my plugin.  This is where Poser falls down compared to other 3D apps - it has 'plugins' via Python but it doesn't have a way to add GUI elements that are able to be there all the time (Set State).  If there were a way to add a room element which shows the IK chains on the current figure so that you could just click checks right there that would be astoundingly useful (is that close enough to a feature request to e-frontier?) :0)
