Bones disappearing from Pose window

[svetlik]

I selected the hand bone and used the Ctrl Scale icon (top toolbar) to scale the hand and all its children finger bones. That worked but then all dem finger bonz disappeared from the pose window even tho they're turned on in the model view.

Then I saw that there was a "Hidden" channel added to ALL those frickin' finger bonz in the relationship window. I had to delete that Hidden channel from all the finger bonz one at a time to make them reappear.

So, my question is: Did I cause that to happen using the Ctrl-scale function? and is there a way to turn them all off easily?

Are you able to repeat that?

I can't make that happen with CTRL-Scale but it does happen with SHIFT-J  (I was testing with v19.5)

J is the keyboard shortcut to hide/unhide a bone. SHIFT-J will do that for a bone and its children. Maybe you knicked it accidentally?

But Hooray for being able to diagnose and solve the problem yourself!  You are a with-it user!

I'll try to repeat it and post it to the forum in a sample prj. Thanks for responding.

Ok I copied the model of the hand to a new model for testing but how do I copy all the child bonz of the hand to that new model?

I believe you can drag a bone hierarchy from one model to another in the PWS , but the easiest way to copy "skin and bones" in the PWS is to drag the model name onto another model name...

thanks I'll try that but I tried repeating my exact steps and could not repeat the glitch. Must have fat-fingered the keys or something. I'll try that trick with dragging bones in the PWS and try again. I'll let you know.
