    Local Location

    mastart
    posted to: Understanding Space

    When enable or disable the "Local Location" on the child it makes no difference.(7:00)

    When I move it with the mouse in the Location it doesn't make no difference but If I select the child, press G then y it goes as it should.

    what am I doing wrong here?

    thank you

      Hi Martin, 
      You have the bone rotate -50 degrees in pose mode.
      You will need to have the bone rotated in edit mode to see the difference.

      Bones move relative to their rest positions (ie - edit mode)

      Thank you Wayne, I am sorry to bother you again. In the pictures I tried to parent the bone to the Monkey. I tried several ways to parent it but I can't get it to the location like the monkey is. It always shows its own location. I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I mentioned my Issue on discord since I get an error when posting it here, but figured that if I copy paste pictures it doesn't work.

      so this should work now.

      thank you for your help

      best

      Martin

      Here's a video to hopefully make it more clear.

      You will see me learn something in this video.

      Thank you Wayne for making this Video. Much clearer now but will look closer to this today and play around. I just need patience and lots of practice. Glad you learned something too :))

      ps: couldn't make it to your office hours tonight. Was it recorded?

      Only parts of it are recorded - each problem is a separate recording.
      So not the whole thing.  But essentially I answer questions like the one you had.
