oops, looks like the horse template has the old body python file.

In the builder where the files are, with right-click replace the body\_v13.py with body\_v17.py - then you’ll see the poseEditorApply() function.

I’ll update that on the next version, so thanks for pointing that out!

If you are doing that for the jaw, it might be worth looking into Face documentation, it might be better to set it up as jawOpen shape ([General - kangaroobuilder.com](https://kangaroobuilder.com/face/faceGeneral/))

Not sure I follow your last message, but generally you have 2 options:

1. Pose Editor: [Pose Editor I - kangaroobuilder.com](https://kangaroobuilder.com/body/poseEditor1/)
2. Shape Editor: [Shape Editor I - kangaroobuilder.com](https://kangaroobuilder.com/face/shapeEditor1/)

Pose Editor might be faster to get started with. But if you are doing a face rig anyway, it might be worth spending the time to get familiar with the shape editor workflow
