Biped and Twist Joints

Kewop Decam

Okay, I'm using Max 2010 and I'm messing around with biped. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get twist joints on the forearm. So I select the biped, make sure Figure Mode is on, I go to Structure, click Twist Links tab, click the check box for Twists, and then turn forearm up to 1 and..... nada. No new joints are made. None of the twist joints work. I've tried selection the biped from the root, the forearm joints, the whole biped and it won't add any of the twist joints. I opened up the listener window to see if clicking these buttons are doing stuff and they are (except check boxes).

Anyone have any clue on what I am doing wrong?

It creates joints on the current default layer which is probably a hidden layer.

Funny, I went back and checked it because you said that and the layer isn't hidden, but when Max makes the joint it makes it frozen which hides it. Since when did Max start hiding objects that were froze or is my Max broken? I don't remember that in Max 9.

Either way, you helped solve my issue. Thanks!

There is a setting in display panel to hide frozen objects. Make sure that isn't checked.
