I created a scene and then tried to import a character(s) and when I tried to move the character the body parts were broken.  I opened the characters in a empty screen and they worked fine.  I tried this with Michelle and also with Miki4.  Has this happened to anybody else?  I'm attaching a screenshot of what happened.

owchee, never saw that happen. 

are you maybe conforming her to something in the scene?  

something has messed with IK chains?  are IKs off?

are you using a version of poser that supports weighmap characters?

These are from two different characters in two different scenes.  Not sure what IK chains are but IK always seems to be dimmed when I use DAZ characters, so I'm guessing IK's are off by default?  I'm using Poser 10.  Someone else suggested to go to Display and Bend Body Parts and have it checked on. I just checked and it looks like it's on.  

I started a new scene and so far it looks ok. I haven't worked with it today yet but I will shortly and see if the same thing happens.

Now I see why you only referred to one character.  I thought I uploaded 3 pictures but it looks like only one pic made it to the post.  

Someone on RuntimeDNA suggested to go to "Display" then Check "Bend Body Parts" to on.  It looks like that fixes it.  You can see the character change as it gets checked on and off.  

Not sure what the bend body parts option is for though? 

Thanks for the response though!

if you uncheck bend body parts, you could rig something like a treasure chest with a lid that opens.  or a door to open.  

lots lots possibilities 😄

I don't know enough about this yet to know how to apply that but I think I have a general idea of what you mean.  Thanks again for the help!
