Create a joint chain with an IK handle

To create a joint chain with an IK handle

1. In the Rigging menu set (press F3), select Skeleton > Create Joints > .

   The Joint Tool settings panel appears.

2. In the Joint Tool settings, turn on Create IK Handle.

   This makes the IK Handle Settings available in the same tool panel.

3. Set the IK Handle Settings as desired.

   For example, set the Current solver option to Single-Chain or Rotate-Plane, depending on which type of IK solving you want to use when manipulating this joint chain. See also IK solvers.

4. Close the Joint Tool settings panel.

Now when you create a joint chain with the Joint Tool, an IK handle is automatically created with the joint chain.

Tip: You can also create IK handles for existing joint chains. See Create IK Handle.
