Now this is a strange one, please help.....

Hi,

There is something strange going on in Layout.

I load in a character model, then switch to the left view. Then I go to Setup tab/ Bones/Add/Remove/Draw Child Bones.

I start to draw a bone at the hips and suddenly the bone is drawn half way down the screen. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? or does this happen the same for you?

If this is the same problem that I have encountered, this is when you move the pivot point in modeler and than try to rig.

Hi scrath33,

Thank you, that did it:)

Having just encountered this bug myself and tested it a little bit, let me clarify: If the pivot point for an object is not at (0,0,0), any bones you create using "Draw Bones" will have one end at (0,0,0). So say bye-bye to using "auto-center" from now on, because all your pivot points need to remain at the origin if you plan on rigging in Layout.

Just another day dealing with Lightwave. Thanks, Newtek!

Sent in a bug report with content and proper description?
If not, it'll never get fixed.
