Interface - Why Some Tools Are Invisible?

[palpacino]

Hi Guys,

I am still only a day or two into AS, but what I am seeing and running into a lot so far are interface issues. Yesterday it was one thing now today I cannot get the Add Bone button to light up so I can add bones to one of the built-in characters in the tutorials (Frank).

I am on Tutorial 1.3 (been taking my time!). It tells me to import the character in there which I did and I have a layer group called "Skeleton" with one layer called "Frank" inside of it.

When I click on the Skeleton group layer, nothing is visible on the tools window. When I click on Frank layer within that group layer a few things light up on the side, but the Add Bone button is not one of them.

I've tried all of my different "Display Quality" settings to see if that was it and it didn't light up still. I am also on Frame 0 which is a suggestion I see for many issues with AS on other posts.

Anyone out there care to take a shot at this one with me? I'd appreciate any help at all! Thank you guys!

If you've done everything else correctly then it sounds like you are not on frame 0.

You can't add bones on any frame other than 0.

Are you completely sure that your layers window looks like this?:



It sound to me that you have created a group layer instead a bone layer...

Thank you Genete!

I had a regular Group created! Thank you for bring that to my attention!
