I am unable to move my aiko 3. It is just a fixed figure with arms outstretched and dull grey in colour. how do I move the arms and legs? i have tried to do many various things but so far, i have only been able to colour it. so now it becomes a coloured fixed figure with arms and legs outstretched. I am at my wits end. please help me.

Well depends on what program you are using?
In Daz at top of page select tools and then select Node Selection.

Now just click on the part you want to move and use the sliders on the right.
to move that part. There are also a lot of predefined pose's available here and at Daz.

it can't. there is no nodes for me to click onto. when i click her arm, a box appears over her entire body. and when i translate or something, the whole body moves. and just to clarify, i cannot load her by the victoria4 way. there is no tiny picture at the bottom left hand box, i have to load her by import. is that normal? or is there something wrong? btw, thank you very much for helping. thanks.

No.
Akio should be in your Figures / DAZ Akio 3 folder and select the figure you want to load.
The imported one will not move.
the Akio3 base is free now till march
Download and reinstall that and try again.

Hiya

If you use Daz studio 1.8 or higher it should be very simple.

Doubleclick Aiko 3 to load her.

Make sure you are in the Pose/animate window.

Then just click her arm, hold down left mouse button, and drag the mouse in the direction you want it to go.

He said that he imported the akio object, You cant pose it that way.
And you can pose the characture under the load tab also!

True LOL...

Reinstall aiko3 then you will get the icon.

Download this from download.com

Poser DAZStudio 3D Models Pack 1 http://www.download.com/Poser-DAZStudio-3D-Models-Pack/3000-6677_4-10579249.html?tag=lst-4

If i remember there are Victoria 3, Michael 3, Aiko 3 and Hiro 3 for free in this pack.

Let the installers decide the installation path. Just click "Next"  usually.

Then you will have a folder called "DAZ Aiko 3" in your "Figures" cathegory.
And a "!Aiko 3" icon.

Download Akio 3  from DAZ  it is the full Akio3 version !  For now it is free until March that way
you can also receive support from DAZ.
I know there are freebies out there but its best to get it directly from Daz
when possible. Also if you become a Platinum member you will
receive a ton of stuff for free just for joining.

Hey, thank you all very very much! I can now pose! thank you! i didn't know that it has to be in the runtime folder to work with aiko. i shall now explore more and learn the art of 3D! woot!
