Hey everyone!

Why is "Create Smooth Joint For Bone Pair" sometimes greyed out from the menu if i do the exact same thing as when it works?
(Select Layer i want to Bind, Select 2 consecutive Bones - one parented to the other, hit "Create Smooth Joint")

Thanks for your help! :D

It puzzles me as well sometimes. All I know is that the chain must consist of exactly two bones. If, say, an arm has 3 bones (upper, lower, hand) it doesn't work anymore.

Here's a workaround, tough:

Hope that helps a bit.

Oh, and don't forget that the bones have to be in a relatively straight line in the first place.
