Moving by Number


Overview

A KineBody Pro PoseTools subscription allows you to move the body &/or joints by entering or editing numeric values for the position or angle variables. This capability may be useful if your task requires precise or repeatable positioning, and/or the 'fine' adjustment option for sliders or joystick ( via [Ctrl]+[Shift] modifier keys) isn't sufficient. This feature works best using a keyboard and mouse, but it can also be performed using touch input.

To change a position or angle by number, you edit its current numerical value, located next to the slider for that variable, as shown:

The overall procedure involves 3 steps:

  1. Enable editing for the numeric value box
  2. Change the value, using any of several conventional textbox editing techniques
  3. Accept the change, or Cancel.
Details are provided in the following section.
