NOTEWhen you change the name on the Create Biped rollout, the name

is used as a prefix for all the biped’s component parts; for example, Dr. X L

Foot. If you use the usual Name And Color rollout, only the name of the

biped’s COM is changed; all other parts remain prefixed with Biped01 (or

whatever the current sequence number is).

Position the biped:

Once the biped is added to the character mesh, you need to adjust the biped
to better match the stance of the mesh. First, you'll adjust the position of the
biped within the Dr. X model.

1 Click the Motion panel tab.

2 In the Biped rollout, turn on Figure Mode.

All changes to the biped's reference pose must be done in Figure mode.

3 In the Left and Front viewports, click Zoom Region and zoom in

around the pelvis of Dr. X.

The illustrations show the COM in white and arrows pointing at the

center line of the mesh.
