Hey, i was wondering if someone could help me out.

I'm rigging up a simple leaf on a plant. I put a Set Driven Key on it, but when i duplicate the Rig(the main Group node), the new duplicates don't have the SDK info.(the attribute is there but it isn't affecting the joints anymore.)

How would i get the SDK to copy over. Am I missing something?
Can someone Help

Thanks

Duplicating a rig with any extra attachments (IK handles / constraints / SDK's ) can be difficult to impossible with just a straight duplicate. For some constraints to carry over you can sometimes go to the Edit > Duplicate special Option box. and make sure Duplicate input graph and Duplicate input connections are both checked. If that doesn't work, just export whatever you want to duplicate into its own file.. then you can import the file back into your scene for as many copies as you want. Hope this helps...

Cheers.
