How to fix a messed skeleton?

NAIMA

Hi I was trying to work with envelpes etc with a skyrim imported skeleton but it's pretty hard due to the fact that the skeleton is messed up after import ...

here is how it looks looke like the bones are all rotated around but if I rotte back the skinned or rigged items will deform badly ...
is there a way to get a proper alignement of those bones to it's previous correct state?

If you plan on using the skeleton in the game engine again there isn't much you can do about it. The geometry of the bone will always point down the X axis.

Two things you can do:

Apply an Edit Poly modifier to each bone and rotate the vertices into place. This won't disturb the pivot, but will allow you to modifier the bone's geometry.

OR

Select all the bones and in the Display Panel, all the way at the bottom, check "Display links" and "Link Replaces Objects". This wont' change anything, but it will turn off the geometry.

Yes but my problem is that when I import and then I rig over I can't use envelopes couse they do mess my models ....

Do you have a max file I can import to test with? That would be the fastest way I could help.
