Manipulating the hierarchy of a leg.
Consider the linked mannequin in the figure. If you want to position the
mannequin’s right foot to rest on top of the soccer ball beside it, you perform
the following steps:
1 Rotate the right thigh so the entire leg is above the soccer ball.
2 Rotate the right shin so the foot is near the top of the soccer ball.
3 Rotate the right foot so it is parallel with the top.
4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the foot is properly placed.
