1 - how can i create an Ik chain via mxs and get acsses to each propertie ?

starjoint
endjoint
name
interations
goal display size
swivel angle

2- and before that,
how can i do a start mousetool to grab an object to be the swivel angle target ?


my idea is to select a chain (arm rig, for example) evalute and at the end get a rubberband selection for swivel angle (like constraints).


thanks and waiting for help.

IK solvers have a 'IKChainControl' controller. You are able to access to its properties (like swivel angle, start joint and so on...) using 'mySolver.controller.property'. Just look for 'IKChainControl' in the MAXScript help to see all the available properties for this thing ;)

Constructor

Class instances not creatable by MAXScript

Properties

.swivelAngle (Swivel_Angle) : angle

.startJoint (Start_Joint) : node

On an IK solver, access the properties like so: $'IK Chain01'.controller.swivelAngle
Boom.

Actually looking at the post, Iker explained it pretty good.
