I am making my first clothing for Stephanie Petite 3. I have noticed that when you remove the IK statements from the cr2, that her feet become messed up. Can someone sugest how I can remove or turn off IKs in a cr2 with out this happening. thank you, marty

Try this. With IK on, zero the translations for the feet. Turn IK off, zero the figure in the Joint Editor, 'Drop fo Floor' (Ctrl+D), then Memorize the Figure (Alt+Ctrl+F). Now delete the IK chains in the Hierachy Editor. Zeroing the feet with IK on is the important part.

Also see post # 18 in the thread linked above for how to have a figure load with leg IK off.

Okay, I tried advice in reply number 2 and got bad results. My clothing developed slight pokethrus in various places. I went to you other link and that advice worked. I didn't have to of course turn off IKs and resave because they are already turned off in the .cr2. I am wondering why this works, because there is no underscore in the arms and they load off??? Anyway, it works, thanks again. marty advice from other forum thread ---snip--- Method: Backup the cr2 and associated rsr. Open the cr2 in a text editor. Do a text search for the string 'inkyChain', scroll down till you find 'inkyChain rightLeg'. Replace this with the line 'inkyChain right_Leg' (note the underscore). Do the same for the left leg 'inkyChain left_Leg'. Resave the file to disk. Open the character in Poser, and set IK off for the legs. Resave the character to a pallet. The character will now load with leg IK off, but you can turn it back on whenever you want. If you resave the character to a pallet it will save with the IK in what ever state you have it set. You may now like to restore the original rsr. ---snip---

In my experience zeroing the figure and Memorizing that zeroed state is a necessary step in making a conforming figure. Poser only turns on IK for a chain named rightLeg or leftLeg (any case in the lettering), what you actually rename these to makes no diffrence as long as they are not either of these names, you could call these IK chains 'Fred' and 'George', the underscore is just an easy way to rename them. Poser does not automaticly turn on IK for rightArm/leftArm, or any other name.
