Parent bone arrow to not hide bones.

Post by Genete »

It is very simple. When I have a small bone and I'm using the Reparent Bone tool, sometimes the small bones are hidden by the red arrows of other bones relationships.
See the examples. The red bone inthe first image is a child of the light blue one. But when I press to the Reparent bone tool other arrow from other bones parnership cover it and its red arrow.
I want the bones to be always avobe the red arrows. So I can select them properly.
Regards

Yeah, that bothered to me too, but (fortunatelly) remember that you always can change some tools parameters to get that you want easily (at least in this case...) and improve your workflow with a little mend without have to wait for an update...

Open the lm_reparent_bone.lua tool in a text editor and search for this lines of code:

Code: Select all

	g:SetColor(255, 0, 0)
	g:SetSmoothing(true)
That define the color, opacity and smothness of the drawed arrows and you can change them (in example) into something like this to try:

Code: Select all

	g:SetColor(255, 0, 255, 192)
	g:SetSmoothing(false)
Well, you always can play with them a little to choose the parameters with you are more confortable :)
