Movable 3D Human Model
KineBody Pro 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 is designed primarily for users with keyboard and mouse available.
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:
Enable Editing | |
To do this: | Proceed as follows: |
Enable editing: |
Double click on the number input box (or anywhere else within the slider box)
Result: The box background color changes to orange. A cursor appears within the box: ![]() or, Some text appears selected: ![]() |
Change the Value | |
Move the cursor: |
[ → ] or [ ← ] (same for vertical sliders & horizontal)
or Click at desired insertion point |
Select some text: |
[Shift] + [ → ] or [ ← ]
or Click & drag over desired text |
Select all text: |
Double click on box (chrome) or triple click (firefox)
or [Ctrl ] + [A] |
Clear the contents: | Select all text (see above), then [ Backspace ]
|
Show cursor instead of selected text: |
[ → ] or [ ← ]
|
Enter numeric values: |
Can be any numeric value 0-9, decimal point, +, -, E
|
Increment or decrement value: | [ ↑ ] or [ ↓ ], to change value by 1 unit |
Accept or Cancel | |
To use the changed value: |
[ Enter ]
Result: The skeleton moves (full body or joint) to reflect any change in the numeric value. The number input box returns to normal: no highlight, border, cursor or selection are shown. |
To cancel: |
Click anywhere outside of the number box.
Result: The skeleton remains as it was before editing the numerical value . The number input box returns to normal: no highlight, border, cursor or selection are shown. Note: [ Esc ] doesn't work to Cancel. |
Input devices: These techniques are intended for use with mouse & keyboard. If you only have touch input, you’re welcome to try them as an experimental feature. To enable editing for touch input, use a long tap (chrome) or short tap (firefox), instead of double click. Note that the operation & behavior may differ depending on the browser, and fewer options for editing text will be available.
Non-editable values: Number box editing works for most, but not all, of the sliders. The cases where it doesn’t work are:
