Properties

There are no additional properties for Bone.

NOTE:

The Bone helper object was used by 3ds Max prior to 3ds Max 4 to represent the nodes in a Bones system.

In 3ds Max4 and higher, it is not possible to create a Bones system using IK controllers on the Bones' nodes.

You can create a hierarchy of Bone helper objects which use the standard PRS transform controller for each node.

FOR EXAMPLE:

b0 = bone pos:[x,y,z]
in b0 b1 = bone pos:[x1,y1,z1]
in b1 b2 = bone pos:[x2,y2,z2]
in b2 b3 = bone pos:[x3,y3,z3]

You can rearrange bone hierarchies using the parent property.

When a hierarchy of Bone helper objects is built, the showLinks and showLinksOnly properties are automatically set to true .
