I want to set up a list of classes on a plugin tag to represent a set of IK chains. In the class, there are two BaseLinks - one to the end-effector and another to the anchor (optional). When copying/reading/writing, is it required to call these explicitly with the other class data or will it be handled automatically?

The basic structure would be like this (using a head and tail pointer for the IK Chain classes) :

Plugin Tag
..IK Chain instance no.1
....BaseLink* endeffector
....BaseLink* anchor
..IK Chain instance no. 2
....BaseLink* endeffector
....BaseLink* anchor
...
..IK Chain instance no. n
....BaseLink* endeffector
....BaseLink* anchor

Thanks!

Okay, nevermind. It would be more expedient to make a plugin tag and collect them on the other plugin tag.

Not a bad thing, just more tag overhead.

Trying to design an IK system is not fun.
