1) Drag the Previewscreen Timeline Scrubber to end of Path

2) Enter 100, in "Position"

3) Play-back. Character should stop at end of Path.

Anyone-else?

I don;t suppose you'd care to prvide any more detail?  Such as enter 100 where?  Where is this position entry field?  SHould I have the character or the path selected?  If I have the path selected, I see no Position filed (seen screenshot 1).  If I have the character selected, the Postion field isn't editable because I didn't choose the Pick Path option, I right clicked told the character to Move Forward and then clicked the first point of the path. (see screenshot 2)

You know what happens when you assume, right?  Assuming that not everybod is as brilliant as you, and giving vauge instructions isn't really helpful.

In the manual it clearly states, create a path.  Right click on the character and choose Move->Walk Forward, then click the beginning of the path.  Hence the character walks along the path.  There is no Position field to enter.  All I want to know is, using this method as outlined in the manual, how to make my character actually stop at the end point.

it's also outlined in the iClone video (at about 2:50) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sduaq3-VOrM&playnext=1&list=PL8E7CBE3691A26EF3

I would have thought a note of thanks from you for the time & effort I've spent in Replying to your Post, when no-one-else has, so far, would have been in order. Apparently not.

A view that's been Posted many times by the Forum's Experts (Which I'm not), whov'e spent some considerable time & effort helping other Forum Mambers, with precious little thanks

Had it actually been helpful, and answere the actual question instead of telling me to do it another way, another way contradictory to the instructions in the manual, pehaps I would've given thanks.  Instead of help, all I really got was attitude.  So thanx for that.

Forget it, I'll figure it out on my own.  I merely came here to ask how to accomplish something clearly documented in the manual, that didn't give the expected results.  I didn't come here looking for attitude, but it's precisely what I got.  Cocky, arrogant attitude.

Anybody else?

Thats the arrogant response I got.  And instead of helping me out with the clearly documented instructins as outlined in the manual, I was told to do it some completely, and less convienent way.

As I have already stated, by wating iClones tutorials and in reading the manual, I am doing it it the prescribed way.  It is not necessary to Pick Path.  There are many advanatages of doing it the way documented in the manual.  I'll just have to live with the fact that it overshoots.

IMO, "An Innocent Bystander" (Legal Term), having read This Thread, would deduce that it's in fact yourself who has a "Cocky, arrogant attitude".

As I recall (Correctly/incorrectly), that's the way described in Kurzal's excellent Video Tutorial.

Since you're not prepared to even attempt to fix your problem by applying the fixes provided, one can only assume that you're a time-waster

There are stronger words I could use to describe yourself, based on your responses, but they would breach the Forum's TOS. Maybe you should read them!
