Human Interface (HI): a Human Interface is a simple 3D shape representing how a manikin can interact with an object. For example, a door knob, the handle of a wallet or a key on a keyboard would be the perfect places to put a HI. You can add one or two 3D arrows to the HI (depending on the type of HI). Manipulating the arrows changes the values of the height or the radius of the HI. You benefit from a simple and fast way to modify any HI. With a simple click-and-drag, you can change instantly the radius and/or the height of the selected HI. The manipulators automatically appear when creating a new HI or when editing an existing one. To change the values of the radius or the height, just grab the tip of the corresponding arrow with the cursor and drag it until the HI matches the size you want.
