The drop-to-floor command is fine for still pictures. I would like, however, to apply it to a sequence of animated frames, and going frame-by-frame through 300 frames of animation gets a bit tedious. I've tried selecting all the frames for the figure's "body" and then hitting Command-D, but nothing happens. I also tried Command-D at every fiftieth frame, for instance, but then the image I am using it on jumps up and down through the animation.

The Command-D doesn't seem to affect the y Translate for the figure, and I cant find any drop-to-floor keyframes in the Edit Keyframe window, or the Graph window, either--so I can't remove the ones I already set, which would allow me to start over.

So--can one select and apply the drop-to-floor command to a sequence of frames? How?

I don't have Poser Pro 2014, but regards the bouncing, have you tried it without IK on the legs being active?
It might be effecting it somehow.

The IK is turned off.

The V4 figure is walking across a floor, but she wasn't quite ON the floor.So I thought I'd try the Command-D at the beginning of the animation, then part way through, then the end. But she starts on the floor, rises back up a couple inches on the second frame, drops down again where I applied the Command-D, goes back up, etc. Normally, I drop her to the floor using the y Transit at the beginning and end, which usually works fine. But this time I thought, what the heck, let's try the drop-to-floor. Now I can't get rid of it and I don't really want to do this on every frame.

The manual only tells me how to apply the drop-to-the-floor--not how to remove it!

you could try a python script to do the drop to floor on every frame.

first look at the ytran parameter on the body and hip ro see if it can be set in frame 1 to affect the whole animation.

something like this might be a start for the script

import python

fig = poser.Scene().CurrentFigure()

frame = 1

while (frame < 300) :

     poser.scene.Setframe(frame()

     fig.DropToFloor()

     frame = frame + 1

I asked something similar a weeks ago and I obtained the answer in this thread, check it,  are good advices there:

I hopes this help you

That was helpful, aldebaran, thanks! I found the utility script, which indeed drops the figure to the floor for the entire animation--it worked....

I'm glad it has been helpful to my advice dnstuefloten

I just thought, I haven't checked your progress in over a month now, will have to take a look, see how those ladies of Lost City are coming along!
Glad to see you got it fixed.

I like to parent my figures to a null object, such as a small square, for situations like this.  Then you can raise/lower the figure by moving the unseen prop.

wishing there was a magic align to center command,
no matter where in the universe the obj is hiding
