Help! My character keeps floating, despite fix pins on body layer

I've done this over and over again. Still the whole figure floats. When I apply the fix pin to the body folder, it causes the figure to distort. I don't know what i'm doing wrong, i've followed the setup like the tutorials. Please help! Is this a bug in the latest update?

Okay, I think I've got it! I looked a little closer at your original pic, and it looks like you have 2 head groups. So your puppet has a Head group, and inside it, there's another head group, (with a layer also labeled "head" and a layer labeled "ponytail".) This first head group also has your body group within it. Move the Body group outside the head groups, and maybe also rename your second "head" group to something like "hair", so that CH doesn't confuse it with the actual head group for face behaviors etc...

Then everything else (which looks correct as you have it...) should start working.

Good luck, can't wait to see if it works!

Also, you can probably re-add the dangle on the skirt, just make the skirt a separate independent group.

Hello Emilyatplay,

In your photo the rigging panel cuts off at the body layer, so I can't really see how you've rigged the body. It looks like you have six handles, and at least two of them are tagged as dangle. Is that for her skirt? If so is the skirt a separate independent group? That would be the first thing I checked to problem solve this. If the dangle handles are on their own independent layer within the main body group (NOT independent as you have it in pic) it should? clear up the issue? if not let me know and we can continue to diagnose the problem.

Hi, I've removed the dangles from the skirt which was the body. Here below are the rest of the layers assignments. Still character is floating.
