Position: Positioning Dummies

Once a dummy has been defined, or read in from file, it can be positioned in a variety of ways.

Operations that apply to the whole dummy as a rigid unit:

Translate, Rotate, Scale act in exactly the same way as under the (main program) Orient command. The whole dummy is moved to its new position either by explicit commands or by dragging with the mouse.

Set H-Point is simply Translate by another method: the dummy is translated by the difference between the current and the required H-point position. However this is often a convenient method when a specific H-Point is required.

It is important to appreciate that these commands move the dummy as a rigid whole, with no articulation of its limbs.
