hey everyone im teaching my self some animation and ive run into a random problem where i try to make my character go back to free stance but when i do it doesnt move my controls back and i get an error of set attribute   saying that my original reference file has locked transforms. these locked transforms though r the base point of the rig that i have no keys set on  if anyone can help that would be awesome
