I have a character with an arm setup (I didn't set it up) but the arm setup seems to have 2 bones on top of each other on the shoulder. One is for roation in the y direction, the other bone seems to be for the x and z rotations (everything else have been locked and removed from the channel box). Then it goes to an elbow joint, forearm joint, to a wrist joint.

My problem is that when I go to use the ik tool to give this guy IK arms (I need him to put his arms on a table and rest them there...kinda pushing on a the table). When I try and select a joint with the IK tool nothing happens. It won't select any joints...any ideas? (I can select the joints normally though...but not with an ik tool???)

Hello,

You can try and go to Display - Hide all, and then Display - Show - Kinematics and Joints just to be sure that's all that's available to select. Should be a simple click on a start joint and an end joint after that. If that doesn't work, I don't know.
