Hey guys,

Maybe I'm missing something, but when I create a bone, its locked on the X. Only lets its grow from that initial click spot. Also, the children after the initial bone aren't connecting. I'm just starting to use max 13, so maybe its a check box or setting I'm missing. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    OK, looks like when things are being created, its automatically putting an orient constraint in the rotation controller, on everything... Anyone heard of this?

    By default bones point the X Axis toward the next bone. Maybe a screenshot would help?

    If you are getting Orient Constraints by default try opening Customize > Customize User Interface > Preferences > Animation > Controller Defaults and click "Restore To Factory Settings..."
