IK

With IK in DAZ Studio, How do I hold a figure in place for instance if I only want the arms to move and the legs locked in place? In Poser, you have IK for Left and right hand and left and right legs. I want to lock the legs and make the rest of the figure move. I hope this makes sense! Cheers

Use Pins, e.g. active the postion tool, select a bodypart which should stay in place, and press Enter.
A red pin sbould occur, indicating that the position of this bodypart is locked. Then use the position tool to move the other parts of your figure. (Be carefully - using View Translate will influence all parts of your character regeardles if you have pin it down or not. Only the position tool works with the pins)

You need to pin the root of the IK chain. If you want to move the arms, pin Chest Upper. If you want to move the legs, pin Pelvis.

Many thanks for your replies. I am still having trouble trying to work out IK Pins and Chains. I have an acrobat upside down. I want to be able to move her arms up and down without the rest of her body moving. I have included a screencap!

Select "Chest Upper". Hit the spacebar to pin it. Then click and drag the hand.
