Hey all,

I'm trying to set up a biped rig with the APEX autorigging components and I've run into an issue where it feels like my Guides.skel and/or tags are not feeding through downstream. I've set up a similar biped character for practice two times prior, following Max Rose' tutorials and the SideFX series by Michael Goldfarb - but didn't come across this issue before.

Previously, many autorigging components like "spline", "multiIK", and "IKFKBlend" worked like a charm with minimal user input and assigning tags. Now they seem to break. I've attached my .hip file if anyone wants to take a look.

I have a geo and a skeleton (+ guide skeleton), which is fed into a packed folder. Then my autorigging components work until the spine setup (which is using spline). APEX is creating the setup, but it's not applying it correctl, it's all stuck in origo. Presumably, it's not finding the tags that I've set up.

Any and all help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Max

Hi, it looks like you are using the Base.skel as your source in the fktransforms component. The fktransform component, uses the skeleton to create the transformObjects in the rig, ie xform, properties, and tags.

You currently are setting all your tags up on the Guides.skel, so in order for apex to fetch the tags from the skeleton
set your source to Guides.skel

This should fix it.
