If you wish to avoid the Rigging of the Hip then simply do the same steps as mentioned but use the Pelvis ghost bone to attach the Left and right leg. Pelvis on Body and hip on Body. the hip will not be used anymore setting limits to zero. you can add an other bone as Master bone that replaces the Hip function as ghost bone by having it linked to the Body and drop the Hip and Pelvis into it in the hierarchy. Toying a little around with ghost-bones will offer you incredible possibilities without affecting your Figure setup and basic functionality.

Note : doing such a setup will generate a new Obj file for your Doll that will be saved at the same place where you saved your Doll in your Library
