Quote - When you select the option to "inherit bends of parent" the prop comes under the influence of the figure's joint parameters. Whereas these parameters are perfect for the figure they are not helping the gauntlet any. In particular it would appear that the spherical fall off zones are excluding large portions of the prop.

A solution may be to make the gauntlet into a conforming figure thus allowing you to adjust its joint parameters separately.

 

I have wondered that and wonder if thats what is really going on in the pred gauntlet. As inherit bends has no effect on the problem I speak of. Almost like a source outside of Poser has edited and parented it but when I parent from within Poser I get this effect. I may end up trying to get one of the many Poser tools they sell here to try and explore this but I am unsure which one to get so I asked this here.
