...it's also in the Morphforms on the head; the bit where you control the eyes.

Remember that if you resize the head you'll need to change the scale of any hair, eg. a Head Size of 0.068 will require the hair to be scaled to 106.8%.

DAZ have set most of the scale dials in V4.2 to be hidden by default. They probably feel that scaling parts of this figure is likely to result in undesirable efects, and for anything but a very small change in scale they are probably right with respect to most actors. Many V4.2 actors do not seem to take as well to scaling as those in other figures. However there are times when it is appropriate so scale some actors so I am attaching the text of a pose file that will display the scale dials of the currently selected actor "ShowScaleCURRENT.pz2". It should work on almost any figure, not just V4.2. The file will not work in Poser versions prior to P5.

Because these forums do not support the attachment of files with a pz2 file extension, I have had to name the file "ShowScaleCURRENT.pz2.TXT" in order to attach it. Save the file to a Pose folder, dropping the ".TXT" part of the file name, that is to say save it as "ShowScaleCURRENT.pz2".

To use; select the actor (body part) you want to display the Scale dials for, apply the pose. At this point you will still not see the scale dials. Now select some other actor, then reselect target actor, this will force a refresh of the paramiters pallet, and you should now be able to see the scale dials (you may also need to click the "+" next to "Transform" and "Scale" to expand the menu).

If you need to hide the scale dials you can edit the file by replacing every instance of "hidden 0" with "hidden 1" and saving the file as "HideScaleCURRENT.pz2".

Another problem with V4.2 is that the translate dials for the eyes are hidden. When the head has been morphed, it is often necessary to translate the eyes so as to fit the new location of the eye sockets. So attached above is a pose file "ShowTranCURRENT.pz2" that will display the translate dials for the selected actor. The same notes on installation and usage apply as for the "ShowScaleCURRENT.pz2" in my last post, please read that post before installing. Note that the file will work on any actor of any (body part) not just the eyes.

P.S. I suspect that the functions of the two pose files I have posted may be available in the ++ morph pack, but for those like me who do not own the ++ pack they are very useful.

lesbentley! You are a lifesaver! That totally did the trick for me and my M4 post morph eyeball fiasco! (:
