Use Selected Bones for Flexi-Binding Command

Post by Greenlaw »

I started using the Use Selected Bones for Flexi-Binding command tonight and it's really helping me simplify my rigs.

I do have a question about it for more experienced users. It appears that when I use this feature, I can only bind a single layer to the selected bones--is this correct? The problem I'm having at the moment is that I want to use this feature to rig a character's arm but the hand is in a separate layer, and when I use this feature, the selected bone chain seems to affect the arm or the hand layer but not both at the same time. I believe I can work around this issue but I wanted a better understanding of the feature and any limitations.

Thanks in advance for any helpful tips and info.

Oh, nevermind--figured it out. I needed to select both layers at once before selecting the command. It's all good now. :mrgreen:
