Hi all,

Having fun time with learning rigging in Houdini 16.0.582

So I'm drawing a chain of bones in the right 2D viewport with no kinematics and placement as view based then returning to
the perspective view….I use the bone tool to select a “point” on the joint to re position the bones but it causes
them to twist?

How to edit a bones position and have it keep its original rotation axis it was created with?

Any help appreciated.

Moin,

it is possible that you have “viewport based placement” active and, if you are drawing your bones inside some geometry, the snapping makes your chain go haywire. Try selecting “freehand” instead.

I hope that helps - screenshot attached.
