Setting Angular Limitations as a Percentage

With this command, you can change the angular limitations of one or many degrees of freedom at once according to the percentage you choose.

This percentage value represents the desired portion of population that must be able to reach the limit. At manikin creation, all angular limitations are set to limits that 50% of the population can reach. Using the Set Angular Limitations with Percentage command, you may want to restrict (i.e., accommodate a narrower percentage of population) or widen (i.e., accommodate a larger percentage of population) these limits for a specific requirement of the population study.

Select a segment of the manikin. Hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard to select more than one segment.
Click Set Angular Limitations with Percentage The following dialog box is displayed:

A read-only text field shows the currently selected segments (or lines of sight). Select the DOF required.
Choose a percentage between 0 and 100 with the spinner.
Select OK to confirm the modification or Cancel to cancel the action. By selecting OK, both limits (min and max) of all degrees of freedom selected will take the specified percentage.
To reset this modification right-click on the segment, and select Properties. The Angular limitations tab shows the set limitations.
Select the body element, and select the Reset button to clear the limitation, and OK.

The modification cannot be done if the selected degree of freedom is locked with a value that would be outside the new limits. In this case, the information is displayed accordingly.
