Figure
This command creates a dummy gure. Naturally, the gure is not intended for use as nal output (for
that, take a look at the excellent gures on the Objects > Object Library menu). Rather, the gure can
act as a stand-in to represent your characters before you have built them. The gure is also included
to help you learn IK — choose Functions > Make Editable to convert the Figure primitive to a full
hierarchy complete with anchors and Kinematics tags with angle restrictions. Try changing the various
parameters and study the setup of the tags.
