This script allows you to pose FK heirarchies using IK. The script works on absolutely any heirarchy, it doesn't have to be made of joints. It works by creating a temporary joint chain, with an ik handle attached. Whenever the temporary chain is updated, so to is the fk chain. There is no connection between the original FK chain and the temporary IK chain however.
All updating is done via scriptJobs. So you can use this script at any stage of your animation. You can even still use FK while the temporary chain still exists.
-works on any FK chain
-non destructive posing
-snap temporary IK chain to previously posed FK chain
-independant pole vector
-simple to delete, and re-setup
-comprehensive help
Its also great for locking an FK arm, while the clavicle, chest, or even root is posed, on less advanced rigs. Even advanced rigs can benefit from this script, as it allows the elbow direction to be altered, while maintaining hand position.
