after the rigging process i created a character set with sub sets for the upper body, lower body etc.

my question is do i add the the controls for IK to the character subset and then switch it to FK and add the rest of the FK controls to the same subset, lets say for the upper body?

and what about the super mover?

obviously this all a matter of preference at this point but i was wondering what other peoples workflows were like in this disregard.

any input would be great, thanks

If you're using characterSets with an intention of using the Trax editor then DON'T use sub-sets. Sub-sets aren't treated how you'd expect in the Trax. Logic goes that if you have a master characterSet, with subsets in it, you'd be able to cut, split, blend etc with the wholde chareacter, or sub parts.... this isn't the case. In my experience you're better off just having 1 chSet that holds the whole keyable rig.
