Search the forum using that topic title of yours. It's here somewhere.

Ok synthsin75. (that's the best place to begin!)

I found a solution in topic "HeyVern's scripts and tools - (focus on bones)"

Thanks

There was a script that worked... almost... written by "ThaNarie". If you search on that member you will find it. However that person has not been on line in ages and I don't know if the script is still available.

I was working on a better copy/paste bones solution but stopped when i hit an issue with listing bones to copy. Not enough room on the screen... tried to use a text list.. blah blah blah... never really finished it.

I do however have a set of scripts on that link you found for "flipping" bones. I use this all the time. One is used to rename the bones (flipping needs "special" names for the bones) Create one half of the character, copy/flip to the other side. you have to follow the instructions exactly. It isn't a perfect script yet but it works for me.

I have been hoping for some scripting updates to ASP so I can finish my original copy/paste bones.
