There may already be a utility for this, but if there isn't maybe someone can make one. Say I make a figure and get all of it joint parameters setup and things are fine, then I get to the last couple joints and find they don't bend correctly, or say I find some of those infamous back faces. Now I gotta replace those body parts and completely resave and re-joint the figure. Is there a utility or could someone work on one that would save all the body part names and joint parameters in their exact locations and assign them to a new figure (that has been corrected) with the same body part names and locations? Does this make sense? Or is there a program that already does that? This would be helpful to me and others I'm sure. davo

Just save that Cr2 to the library and point it to the new version of your OBJ file. CR2Editor is good for changing the references. -JH

In each CR2 file there are TWO lines that point to the .OBJ file. Or, two for each model, if the .CR2 file contains more than one model.

heya; alternately, you can correct your obj and resave it with the same name; then delete the associated rsr's. reopen your cr2 library file, and it will read the new obj geometry.

I'll have to experiment with all this, I know nothing about cr2 files and rsr's and the like. I appreciate all the help, I'll have to see how it goes. Davo ps Bloodsong, Delightfully Darla and Squishy are getting it on as we speak ;-)

Still, anything that would help simplify or automate the joint parameters would be a real blessing. Would such a utility be possible?
