H21 AutoRigBuilder Issues 2025年10月27日17:16
could you share your input skeleton? that will make it easier to see whats going wrong. You might want to also check out the new production build since we made a lot of bug fixes since the initial release.
I do have one initial suspicion though. The autorig builder expects a default skeleton scale of 1.0 it can very well be that you fbx import added a scale factor of 0.01 to your skeleton. you can get rid of that with a small vex snippet
before packing your character.
Another that is expected for twist is that they are not in a chain with the arm joints. this is actually important!
here are 2 legit options to parent your pre existing twists
upperarm
--> upper_twist_01
--> upper_twist_02
--> upper_twist_03
--> lowerarm
--> lower_twist_01
--|--> lower_twist_02
--|--> lower_twist_03
--|--> hand

Another way to learn how the autorig components work is to click on the edit icon on the autorig component SOP. Its right next to the drop down for the components. This will expose the full apex script snippet for the component. Most of our pre shipped components have now been created with apex script. The button click will expose the code and you can then carefully study it or use it as a starting point for your own component 
We also have it on our todo list to add mor code comments to existing components exactly for that purpose
