Reverse foot setup help

[prithvi]

<P>I am totally new to Maya rigging and animation.</P>
<P>The other day, at our class in MAAC, we were having the Reverse foot setup session.<BR><BR>When I tried it at my home puter, the reverse foot is working.......BUT when I move the pelvis down, the feet don't stay fixed on the ground.<BR><BR>Then I took that .mb file to class at the center.<BR>When I tried to move the pelvis down, it worked perfectly.........the feet were planted.<BR>My fac has no idea why its happening........he mentioned something about the graphic card........but that obviously isn't the prob.<BR>It's just bones in the viewport, after all.<BR><BR>Any help on this?</P>
<P>Thanks in advance.<BR></P>

r u using the same version of Maya at both the places?????<br>
and no, graphics cards not a problem there.......<br>

<P>oops, I'd forgotten to update this.<BR>yeah, it was Maya 5 at both places.</P>
<P>Well, the problem has been resolved now.</P>
<P>It was due to something that happens in Maya...........when you've planted the foot using the reverse foot lock...........but when u vertically move the pelvis down, the feet go below the ground.<BR><BR>What happens is the viewport doesn't get refreshed.<BR><BR>So after the pelvis is shifted, u just need to slightly move the 'parent' joint of either reverse foot..........and the feet will be back at ground level (thereby just bending the knees).<BR>Set the key only after doing this, in case this prob happens to u too.</P>
