This describes how to lock and unlock individual
manikin degrees of freedom. Locking a degree of freedom means that the
corresponding segment will not move by this DOF, either in forward
kinematics or in inverse kinematics. |
|
It is possible to lock/unlock the entire manikin for one
particular degree of freedom if the Body node is selected in the
specification tree when activating the lock command.
