no

A decision parameter determining whether the other hand will be used for support during handling of the tool (e.g. to hold a drilling machine).

Use orientation

Checkbox

no

A decision parameter that determines whether the human model uses the orientation of the path points while moving the tool along the path.

Body movement type

Selection

no

A selection parameter used to select the upper body motion to be used.

Lock leg movement

Checkbox

no
