@PhilC: I seem to remember that we tried using a different name than hip for the root of the hierarchy, and that it caused serious problems. But I've forgotten what exactly those problems were, and it may well be that they're not as serious as not having WW support.
I was actually planning to take a break from Antonia for some time, but I'm willing to make a test version with the renaming you suggest (hip -> waist, hip2 -> hip). Maybe it would be good to have some volunteers to try it out and see if anything breaks.
But I'd like to ask you a question, too: why is the naming of body parts so crucial for WW? Couldn't you just assume our hip2 was called hip and take it from there? I understand that Poser uses certain naming conventions, and we can't change Poser, so we have to go with them. But you have - presumably - full control over the way WW does things and could make your own conventions. I apologize if that's a naive question. I have no concept of the inner workings of WW.
