DOF warning moibu 2013

#1

Max bones

Opening up any kind of bvh file in motionbuilder 2013 gives this error that states I have to update the DOF settings. Nothing in the 2013 documents. The only info I could find had to do with version 2011. Maybe the error is defunct, but still.

To update a Control rig that uses MotionBuilder 5.5 Limits:
Load in a version of MotionBuilder prior version 2009 your file containing the character that uses the “Enable MB 5.5 Limits” property.
Select all the skeleton’s bones and open the Properties window.

Got it

Select the All (Type) view in the View menu to display all available properties.

Cant find this one in the view or display drop downs.

Expand Degrees of Freedom > Rotation > Post Rotation and disable the “Enable MB5.5 Limits” option.
Once you disable the “Enable MB5.5 Limits” option, you are ready to update the rig.

Ah, no DOF heading in properties with bones selected. Unless I am selecting the wrong thing.

Any info welcome.

Cheers

Ok found it.
Select all the bones on the skeleton,
Under properties there is a display type you can choose called all types.
Under there is a folder where the DOF settings live.
