Ive sometimes found the red highlighting of selected parts too intense, to the point where it actually obscures the body part when trying to view subtle interactive adjustments. I did just notice that in P4, you can turn off this highlighting in the /Runtime/Prefs/Poser.ini file by changing the value for HILITE_BODY_PART from 1 to 0 prior to launching Poser.

There's an easier way. Uncheck "Figure Circle" under the Display menu. Intuitive, huh? :P

Nance, That's just terrific! With obj files which have a high number of vertices, when you move them, you sometimes get horrible red lines. This has always driven me ga-ga! I just tried it and it gets rid of the red lines completely. Thanks a lot! FyreSpiryt, I always have 'Figure Circle' unchecked, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. The red highlighting is a different beast altogether. mac

Looking at the .ini again, I spotted the last line HIER_EDITOR_SIZE 290 448 Does this mean we can change the size of the Hierarchy Editor? Has anyone tried it? I'd love to have a bigger palette than the current postage stamp. I'm a bit iffy about messing with these things myself, but I suppose I'll have a bash. After making a copy of the .ini just in case. mac mac

I just answered my own question. Yes, it is possible to change the Hierarchy Editor size. HIER_EDITOR_SIZE 290 448 290 is the width and 448 is the height. I changed mine to a height of 700 and it works fine. Good deal, Nance. Now, does anyone know what these lines mean? DRAW_OFFSCREEN 1 QUATERNION_ON 0 mac

QUATERNION_ON 0 is an animation setting. I've been playing with DRAW_OFFSCREEN 1 but haven't found any change. I thought it was ground shadows, but it wouldn't repeat.

Thanks wyrwulf, I ignore all animation stuff as I never use it. But if DRAW_OFFSCREEN 1 is switched on, it must do something. Hmmm...who knows? mac

Most of the lines do appear to set the size and location of the various dialog boxes. Dunno what DRAW_OFFSCREEN is yet either.

A little update: In a later thread, Cage mentioned that the "Figure Circles" method that FyreSpiryt suggested above is for P5, and does not work the same in P4.

Just found something out, myself: If you choose "Color" in the toolbar, and do deformation then, the outlines are gone! The other trick with the poser.ini also works fine, thanks for the hint!

BTW, in Poser 5 the hierarchy editor window can be enlarged and reduced just like any other window - by simply placing the cursor on a borderline, waiting a tad and pulling away. Willy
