CGTalk - Bone Mirroring

Hey :)

I'm following Max's tutorial on character rigging, and having an incredibly stupid problem... Whenever I try to mirror the bones, they all duplicate, but only every second bone moves over to the other side.

I'm in World coordinate and have Use Transform Coordinate Center selected, checked the Schematic View to make sure the heirachy is correct. I had the same problem last week, not with the legs but with the arms that time.

I'm sorry for the basic question... I just can't seem to figure out why it's happening. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very grateful. :)

Whoops. :)

Just in case anyone as stupid as me ever has the same problem, it turns out there's a big difference between editing bones normally with move, rotation, etc, and doing the same thing while "Edit Bones Mode" is checked. A huge difference.

Heh, sorry. :)
