Again i touch TS 7.5. Again i end in a screenshot instead getting things done. Oh my, neverending story ...


I tried to shape skeleton. I got an amazingly small joint in my skeleton. The one at the hip may be this small because of the small bones. But then the joint at the hand had a normal size at the left hand and a small size at the right hand. So i zoomed in to have a closer look at this small joint. And stumbled across a triple joint here. I cannot really tell how to reproduce. Did it like the other joints too. By clicking.

problem seems to be caused by unintentionally clicking on a bone instead of joint when selecting joints. Clicking on the bone splits it and add new joint.

I see. So i better never click something to select it :D


Problem is that you sometimes have to click at a joint to select it for further manipulation when you leave the build skeleton mode for moving the screen a bit for example. Then you have to select a joint where you want to go on with work. Hmm. Hard to make a suggestion here.


In this case i hadn't left the build skeleton mode though. Was shaped in one picture. But even when, i would understand when it comes to two joints here, but three joints?


My suggestion would be to have a minimum size for joints. And a warning when a joint gets created at a position where it overlaps another joint. Or maybe even move it away then :)
