I've run into a wall here; any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to set up the P4 male for a bicycle riding animation, but I am unable to get the arms into the desired pose. No matter what I try, I can't get the figure's hands onto the handlebars of the bicycle. The problem is that once the arm is in this position, both the "Twist" and "Bend" dials are producing essentially the same rotation. I need to be able to move the elbow away from the body (abduction, if you prefer the anatomical term). This is normally handled by the "Bend" dial. I'm pretty sure I know why this happening: it probably has to do with the way the joint axes are set up. I just don't have time to try to find a work-around. Does anyone know of a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance, Cal
