    Buy the description if this is the one http://www.daz3d.com/uh60-blackhawk-helicopter I would say select the main Helicopter node and look in the Parameters Pane to see if there are any movement morphs.

    yes-that's the one. I did what you said and tried rotating and transforming everything. cannot move the rotor blades. :(

    I don't have this so I cannot check for you but as you say it clearly states you can in the features.

    So there are no named channels in the Parameters Pane when the model is selected? Not even to move the Doors etc as the Blade Roatation Slider I would have thought would have been with them. If nothing like shows in the Parameters pane then try selecting the body node and see if anything shows up and repeat until all nodes are checked.

    It's in there but it's not intuitive to find.

    1. Load the prop
    2. Select it in the scene file and click the > to show the components below it.
    3. In that list select the Blackhawk bone
    4. On the parameters tab select General (All and Currently Used also work) and the transforms should be at the top.

    You have to have the Blackhawk bone selected and you have to select General, All or Currently Used on the parameters tab. Anything else and they don't show up.

    Here's a screenshot showing them.

    Glad I could help.

    I missed it to at first but since the product page specifically mentioned that it was moveable I knew there had to be a way. I just kept clicking on stuff until I found it.

    Another tip is that you don't get the option to select rotors, doors etc if you have anything parented to the Blackhawk
