If you have played with A4 at all you will notice that daz has set most if not all the morph dials to not go below 0 (Poser). Granted you can open the settings and change them one by one to a min of -1.0 or whatever your heart desires. Script idea is a way to in mass change all the minimum dials to either an input number like -1.0 or a series of check boxes like -0.5, -1.0, -1.5 that you select one and that is the vaule you change to in mass. Not sure which is easier to program (input a number vs check boxes) is why I gave two examples. Using check boxes makes it idot proof that somebody puts in a postiive value of 1.0 in the min , where the max is set to a positive value of 1.0 and they render the dial useless and you have to deal with the support issue. I will gladly pay for a script that can do this via either of theese examples or even dosmething completely different if what I suggest is even possible. Thanks Gary PS: waiting for the first reply that says this script already exists and the link (snicker) PSS: Or is min value of the morph dials something I can change in the A4 cr2 with a mass search and replace?

The problem with a mass serch and replace in a cr2, is you'll end up changeing th elimits on all the joints as well.
If that doesn't bother you, it' s no big, but I know many figures are joint limited for "best possible" use.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

Its easy enough to avoid the translate and rotate dials when doing this sort of change .
in the parameter info IsMorphtarget identifies the morphs and Minvalue and SetMinValue will tell if it needs to be set .
So loop through all body parts, all parameters , check if morph, check if minval == 0 and set it to some - value , then save the figure to store the changed values in the cr2 .

check the a4 cr2 file for statements such as:
forcelimits 0
forcelimits 1
forcelimits 4
et al.
I haven't got a4, but v4 base.cr2 is full of "forcelimits 1" for the dials.
