Can't build advanced skelelton

veroni.jakutavichute — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 01:15:58 GMT

Hello, this is my second time working in Maya with this tool, so maybe it is my inexperience but I have encountered a problem building an advanced skeleton.

When I finish half of the joint root and click to "build AdvancedSkeleton" it writes "updated orientation" and then pops up error "mell line 46950 Found no valid items to add the attribute to" and my joints lose all the connections. Not really sure what causes it. When I imported Fit Skeleton and tried to build a whole skeleton (without adjusting it to fit the mesh) it worked. Does anyone possibly know the solution to this problem?

Hey!

I had the same problem, the solution was quite easy, but it took me a long time to figure it out.

it is probably because you have some Asymmetrical bones somewhere. in order to fix that, you have to go to first bone of te asymmetrical bone array (not the parented bone), and go to the the "Edit" tab of the Advanced skeleton window. once you get there, look for the attribute tab and select "no mirror" from the slider, and, while having selected the asymmetrical bone chain, click "Add".

after that, the build should have no problems

Good luck!

Hey!

I'm having the same problem,

But I don't understand the next step from the asymmetrical bone array (not the parented bone).. So please can you send me the full step by step screenshot again?
