About IKs and Reverse Feet, the Transform actions will be driven by the following rule: whatever selection you make  - — meaning the IK/RF controller or the FK chain (full or part of it) - — the result will be the same as if you would have select had selected the full FK chain. Then the IK/RF target will be placed relatively to the chain leaf.

The only exception concerns the copy/paste when you select only an IK or a an RF controller: In these cases, IK/RF controllers position is copied/pasted and their joint chains are then resolved (leading to a different result than if you had copycopied/pasted the chain joints).

Again concerning IKs and Reverse Feet, some Transform actions may have weird (although normal) results if all channel boxes are not checked, so we recommend to let letting them all checked.

• Concerning joints not belonging to an IK or RF chain and pasted on different joints than the copied ones, the order matters. Meaning that the first copied in hierarchy 1 will be pasted on first in hierarchy 2, etc. The order used for joints is the one configured in the Picker dialog.
• It means too to that the first copied keyframe will be pasted on the new first keyframe, the second copied keyframe will be pasted on the new second keyframe, etc.
• If you have more copied elements than new elements, supplementary copied elements will be ignored. If you have less copied elements than new elements, supplementary new elements will remain ignored.

• If you select the IK/RF target to copy/paste, you benefit from the position of the target (relatively to the Character). In this case, the joint chain will do its best to follow the target position. Useful to copy/paste a target specific position!
• If you select the join chain (or part of it), you benefit from the FK posing. In this case, the target will return to the leaf joint position.
• If you select both, the result will be the same as if you would have select selected the full FK chain (IK/RF target will be placed relatively to the chain leaf).
• Please notice that the target color is copied and pasted.

Whatever you select - — target, joint chain, both target and joint chain (full or part of it) - — you will always mirror the full chain according to the spine and the target will return to its leaf position.

It is important to remind that our mirroring features (including the cyclemaker cycle maker features) works if:

• The skeleton is correctly named/labelled (about it, we suggest to consult consulting the Mirror Skin & Joints parts of the Skin Atelier page)
• The Bind Pose/Ref Pose of the skeleton was was obtained via our rig mirroring process

It means that if you bring your skeleton from another 3D package, it may be possible that you encounter some issues due to different axis orientation. In order to fix them, please delete a side of the skeleton and let Akeytsu mirror it.
