How do I keep Dragon bones visible.

Post by DeCay »

I have been working with the ASP11 dragon character and need to add a shape controlled by a single bone. From the tutorial 3.5 :

1. Select the RArm layer in the Layers palette.
2. Use the Select Bone tool to select the bones you want
to control the arm.
3. Choose Bone > Use Selected Bones for Flexi-Binding.

But when I select my layer (one I've added under the Dragon hierarchy) all the bones disappear. To be clear this is always the case with the Dragon (sub) layers but not characters I've built. I'm stumped.

A clue for the clueless here? … please.

If I remember well, the dragon has its Paths unchecked. Select the Dragon's bone layer, click on the triangle at its right and check "Paths" on the popup window.
That will make the bones still visible when you select other layers inside it.
