hey guys, I am a beginner. Sometime I need to change the model while the Ik has been set up. Therefore I have to change bone`s joint position, for example, I move the knee joint forward a little bit along z axis. it means I have to adjust all the descendents of this bone once again. Is there a function in Messiah which allows me change bone`s joint without affecting its descendents position? as far as known, we can unchain the parent relation temporarily and then set it back with child staying his original position.

Hi,
try "Realtime Modify" in the skeleton tab :)

I`ve ever tried before. it doesn`t work indeed as this picture represents. you will see when I move the end of a bone, its children position are changed. how can I keep their position still?
