If ac is an actor, then ac.Gimbal() gives "Get the gimbal information for the actor. This method returns a tuple of tuples. The first sub-tuple contains the gimbal order (e.g. (1, 2, 0) for Y, Z, X). The second contains the parameters that correspond to the x, y, and z rotations respectively". OK, and I have got it to work. But how within Poser Python can I set the gimbal order of xrotate yrotate zrotate of an actor ac?

Did you ever get an answer for this, Anthony? From what I can see, there is no symmetric actor.SetGimbal() method to apply a change to the rotation evaluation order, as can be done manually by the user in the Joint Editor. This seems to be yet another example where the Poser Python API woefully lags behind what's possible in the UI, preventing any kind of automated construction of a figure by python script.

I'd suggest this is worth requesting from the new Renderosity support staff now responsible for Poser.

Thanks; but how can I get a message to the "Renderosity support staff"?
