Symmetry issues with Big Cat 2

MacSavers

Okay, I love using Symmetry. It allows me to use a ton of poses in reverse which allows me to almost double my pose library. However, I ran into an issue with it when I tried to use it on Big Cat 2. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing it wrong?

Have you tried just selecting the main top node of the cat and using Selected in the first box. All the rest look perfect to me. I found that some figure respond better when Selected is chosen while others need Root.

PS and Keep Scale selected.

Did you pose using only the Transforms, or did you use any Pose controls too?

I used one of the poses from the Lady and the Lion set. I made sure to only keep the top level selection on the Big Cat 2, not sub-item.

Basically, I placed the cat, selected the cat, clicked the pose, then hit Shift-Y to bring up the symmetry box and used the settings you see.

I did that with Genesis, G2F and G2M and they all worked just fine with the same exact steps.

I've done it that way first, with Selected and keeping all the scales selected. Then I found a post by SickleYield with a screenshot of what he suggested. I've included it here. Both produced the exact same result.

Can you post the "Currently Used" from the Parameters pane?

Here's two screen shots. You will even see the pose I chose. The first one is before symmetry and the second one is after.

You are using a lot of pose controls - the ones that affect the front legs right or whatever - and those don't get swapped by Symmetry. You will need to manually swap the values for the left/right parameters that affect several bones.

I feel, if those pose controller of Big Cat 2 only use node transform value,,

you can use "Bake to transforms" from top menu>Edit>Figure (shift + B)
it turn controlled node transform value to Raw value.

Though you need to set option carefully, to bake parameter which you need.

then symmetry will work. (but aboust some scale node, or ihidden paramete value many not work)

And it depend on, how each node name are plefixed too.
some case you need to change node name to symmetly work.
