The different frames enable you to position the manikin in its environment. The modes rely on creating fixed constraints and then activating on the dedicated segments. Selecting a segment activates a constraint. This uses the constraint for fixing a segment or for moving it. No constraint you can automatically create if you have not selected the appropriate segment.

Manipulation integrates the all the benefits of each manipulation command inside one mode.

The dialog box appears with these commands:

These commands act independently of each other and affect the manikin's posture in specific ways. Some of them, such as Reach Mode, can undergo additional changes by modifications to the manikin.
