To create a joint chain with an IK handle
- In the Rigging menu set (press F3), select Skeleton > Create Joints >
.
The Joint Tool settings panel appears.
- In the Joint Tool settings, turn on Create IK Handle.
This makes the IK Handle Settings available in the same tool panel.
- 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.
- 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.
