Removing the Angular Limitations  

ascenari.gif (1364 bytes) This task allows you to remove all limitations on a segment.
Allowing you to remove the angular limitation will permit you to move a segment in any degree, It means that the segment will be able to do a complete circle of 360 degrees.
A manikin must be created or imported to complete the following procedures.

  1. Click Remove Angular Limitations   
    The Removes the angular limitations dialog box appears.

     

  2. Select the segment(s): to be unlocked. The segment appears. 

  3. Select the DOF required, and OK.


    In the Properties dialog box, the Angular Limitations  tab, the upper and lower limits are None.


    The Angular limitations on the manikin are shown below.

You can also manually move one limit until you reach the other limit (making a 360 degrees circle).  At this time, a message box asks you if you want to remove the angular limitations. If yes, the result will be the same as shown above. If no, you will still be able to change the angular limitations but will never be able to set angular limitations that cross.
