Hi there.

I'm currently creating an IK rig and I've noticed that the back fins for the spine are coming out of the front of the bones, and vice versa. Is this normal? I tried flipping it all and doing it again, but it's the same. I thought it would be wise to check this as I don't want to end up with a complete rig which is as backwards as the day is long :).

Thanks,

If you create the Bones in Left Viewport you have the fins working as their name.
Front fins are Y_axis. In Right Viewport the local Y_axis is pointed downwards, in
Left Viewport it points upwards.
But you always can select a bone, and enter edit mode in bone tools and
rotate 180 degrees and exit edit bone mode.
Use always Left view for create bones and then adjust them in your preferred
viewport is the rule I think.
