Thanks again, noviski, for looking over my shoulder and offering your help. Could you post the URL for "The Jumping Alien" on Eovia's site. I looked around [in the tutorial section] but couldn't find it tonight.

The problem is [partly] that everybody's advice seems to be different. Brian has it that one should start at the toe and build upward to the hip. Your info [from Eovia] has me building from the hip down. And when I got to Page 806 in the .pdf manual, Eovia says use the Select Tool, click on the hip bone, then use the IK Chain tool and click on the toe, and it's done.

Personally, I am having problems getting the IK Chain tool to do anything. I place it over the bone, click, often repeatedly...sometimes it gives me an IK Target. But most of the time it does not. Does anyone else have this problem?
