Problem with bones…

thanks,

i was having trouble bringing up the skeletal bone range window. all i needed was a good lunch and a recharge of the ol’ cortex. all better now.
thanks again.

Cheers, I am getting an error when working with bones. The problem is when I click or double-click on the middle back bone and try to attach the skin, 3dC shuts down [every bone gives the same results]. The skeleton is from the object library. The model is a male figure I made.
Any suggestions?

To attach the figure to the skeleton all you need to do is to drop the figure onto the skeleton root bone in the heirarchy tree…see the attached pic.
I add an extra bone called GroupBone….this is orientated with xyz the same as the world xyz….the skeleton and figure are dragged to this bone in the heirarchy.
