only show the parent arrows for the selected bone?

Post by tifacloud7 »

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to Moho . :oops:
I haven’t been able to find much info or tutorials on this, so I thought I’d make a post and ask here. Really appreciate your time and any help you can offer!

So, I’m wondering — is there a way to make the parent arrows on bones smaller, or only show the parent arrows for the bone I have selected?

When I’m working on more complex rigging, the parent arrows sometimes get in the way and block the bones I’m trying to click on. It gets a bit tricky to work with.

I’ve tried using the “Toggle Color Bones” script to hide the bones I don’t need, but their parent arrows still show up even when the bones are hidden.

Just wondering how you all deal with this?
Would love to hear any tips or workarounds. Thanks so much in advance!

You can keep any bone invisible by making it a shy bone (and reverse that, of course). This is useful f you have a rig with many small bones cluttering your view.

I think that just hides the bone, not the parenting arrows? (same as hiding coloured bones).
