Hi Again, Can you change the min and max values of a perimeter dial so that a yTran won't move beyond a certain point and what not? Cheers

Yes. Double-click on the dial to open the Parameter Dial panel. Set your min and max values however you wish. Depending upon the dial, you might have to enable the Use Limits function from your Figure menu. Limits are usually automatically forced for morphs, but not for things like rotation or trans. Or you can hack the Poser file with a text editor to enable the forceLimits switch for that specific dial.

Sure, hae. Double-click the dial name to open the dialog box. The pic shows the dialog box for a Yrot dial. You can enetr any values you want (and change the dial name), but the minimum must always be less than than the maximum. Like min = 1.00 / max = 2.00 Or min = -1.00 / max = 1.00 If you want a door to slide from side to side, move it with the dial first to see what the values should be, then enter them. You must switch on 'Use Limits' (It's in one of the menus) for this to work. And resave the figure to the library with the new limits. But every new poser session, you have to switch on 'Use Limits' If you want it to work every time you open poser, you have to hack the pp2 or cr2 file. It's quite easy. Open the file in notepad, scroll down to find the body part and dial you set limits on, then change the line ' force limits 0' to 'force limits 4' Then resave it. That's it. mac

Oops. Xposted with LD. But I have a pic. Nyah, nyah, nyah! mac

LOL...I just did this with someone else....I feel like deja vue....Any way you can find your Force limits in the cr2 or pp2 file right with your coordinates like yrot etc. Sharen

Here is an example of seting the limits in a translateY channel.

                translateY ytran
                        {
                        name GetStringRes(1028,13)
                        initValue -0.00309944
                        hidden 0
                        forceLimits 4
                        min -1.500
                        max 1.300
                        trackingScale 0.001
                        keys
                                {
                                static  0
                                k  0  0
                                }
                        interpStyleLocked 0
                        }

The relevent lines are "forceLimits 4", which instructs Poser to use limits for this channel, the next two lnes (min & min) that tell Poser what the limits are.
