Bone tool not available
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2017 4:46 pm
Hello, earthlings. Sorry if this question has already been beaten to death; I searched before posting and couldn't find an exact match.
I'm using Moho Debut 12, recently downloaded and installed. I've been going through the Tutorial Manual sequentially. Everything has been working splendidly until I get to the Bone tool.
I create a character in a vector layer. I create a Bone layer. I drag the vector layer into the Bone layer so that it appears "subordinate" to it--i.e., is indented under the Bone layer in the Layers window. At this point, the tutorial states I am ready to start adding bones. However, the Bone tool does not highlight for me. It doesn't matter whether I'm in the bone layer or the vector layer; the tool remains unavailable for use.
Likewise, under the Bone menu (top of screen), all options are grayed out except for "Reset All Bone Rigging," which is superfluous, since I can't add bones in the first place.
Odd thing: When I launch Moho, it brings up a pre-made Moho file containing characters, animations, etc. When THESE files contain bone layers, the Bone tool IS available.
I have a screen shot to attach, but I don't think I have the option to upload an image directly from my computer to here...?
Sorry if I'm just being an idiot. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
