resizing a boned model - can I keep vertex/bone info

I was trying to resize a model (the Jason model on the Extra's CD). I wanted to have everything move proportionately (bones, vertices, etc). I was able to select the model bone in the PWS, select the whole model, and scale while holding down the ctrl key. All the bones and vertices sized accordingly - great. However, the bones no longer kept their control pts - not so great...

 

Anyone know how to resize and keep the bones control pts?

Hi Arthur,

 

You'll kick yourself when you find out what you did.

 

You know how to assign cp's to a bone right?... you select the bone, then select the cp's you want to assign to that bone.

 

Well ... with the steps you are taking, by selecting the model bone and then selecting the model, you are reassigning all the control points to the model bone. This is where you lose the control point assignments to the individual bones. All you need to do is select the model bone and then scale using the ctrl key ... i.e. DONT select the model after selecting the model bone.
