CGTalk - Lenght of Bones

I'm having quite a lot of fun with SoftIK (really i am) but I have come across something a bit wierd.

If I use the new bone tool and create a bone chain, I can click on any of the joints and change the position/length of any bone in the chain with the all staying correctly linked - fantastic.

If I then use the setup IK button and then try to change the length of the bones it all goes to pot. Does anyone know how change a bone length without breaking everything?

I am kinda hoping it doesn't mean taking all of the SoftIK tags off etc. and starting again.

Hi,
after adjusting the bone lengths you have to set the rest position/rotation for the Soft IK Tags, otherwise the old pos/rot information will let the bones jump back to their old position/rotation. You will find those commands in the MOCCA menu.
