Repositioning only one joint without any effect on the other?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi

 

I am new to Maya and just started rigging a character.

 

I made the foot skeleton but i just realized that i positioned my toe joint too high.

 

How can i reposition the toe joint without moving the ball or heel of the leg??

 

Please help! I really don't want to start over 😞

 

I have attached 2 pictures for better understanding of my issue

Accepted solution

You can move one joint without affecting its children using the D key. Select the joint you want to move, press the W key to select the move tool, then press and hold the D key and move the joint.

Hope it helps

I know, it's solved, but is there a way to make this work after you keyframed the bones? After I set a keyframe for one or more bones, I can't move them individually.
