Hi Everyone !

I would like to unlock my characterization in order to modify the orientation of a joint, then relock this characterization using a Python script. However, I can't seem to get this attribute. How can I go about it?

The attribut that i wan't to access with python

Thanks for your help !

Hey, try this:

FBApplication().CurrentCharacter.SetCharacterizeOff()
FBApplication().CurrentCharacter.SetCharacterizeOn(True)

Thanks you ! It Works, I have one last problem, when I relock the character, how can I say that it's a Biped ?

Oh I just found that "True" means Biped and "False" Quadruped in : FBApplication().CurrentCharacter.SetCharacterizeOn(True)
