   Edit Body Part	When a single joint is modified, only directly connected joints are modified.
   Constrain Joint Rotation	Activate the option to prevent unwanted movement of the selected joint caused by other rotating joints. However, for natural modification of the Avatar, the constrained joint may rotate slightly.
