Simply Push/extend Joint Limits

Simply Push/extend Joint Limits. Is it possible to create a script to do this?

preferably for Genesis 1 ...

Does something like this exist?

Edited to add subject to body of post

What do you mean? Adjusting limits by script in DAZ Studio is certainly possible.

Yes, that is what I mean

I want to request such a thing but I may be in the wrong forum

though I know alittle bit of visual basic, do you think I would be able to make this script?
I don't know where to start with Daz Scripting

A Script to Extend the limits of Genesis behind their default limits, I am wanting to request this or learn how I would go about creating this

for Genesis 1

Merged threads and moved to Developer Discussion.

If this is just for joint limits you can use something like this, assuming you want to increase all rotations by the same amount. You'd need to repeat the bits for the the rotation limit relaxation for the Y and Z rotations.

// Get the primary seelction
var item = Scene.getPrimarySelection();

// if it's a bone, get the figure it belongs to
if ( item.inherits( "DzBone" ) ) {
 item = item.getSkeleton();
}

// Assuming we now have a figure (DzSkeleton) we can relax limits
if ( item.inherits( "DzSkeleton" ) ) {
 // Get the list of bones
 var bones = item.getAllBones();
 var control;
 // Now go through the list of bones relaxing limits
 for ( var n = 0 ; n < bones.length ; n++ ) {
  // Get the Xrotation control
  control = bones[ n ].getXRotControl();
  // If we have a controller, check for limits and relax them
  if ( control ) {
   if ( control.isClamped( 0 ) ) {
    // Increase limit by 10%
    control.setMin( control.getMin() * 1.1 );
    control.setMax( control.getMax() * 1.1 );
   }
  }
 }
}

Yes , Thank you for this script! this is very awesome

also thank you for the easy to follow comments, Im kinda able to get my head around Daz scripting from this script
