Version 11pro layer won't bind???

[uncle808us]

Hi guys been away for a while.
I have a question about layer binding.
I am using Version 11.2 pro due to my old computer.(Mac)
I can not get a layer to bind. I am choosing two bones and selecting use selected bones for flex binding.
The layer refuses to bind I try it over and over after releasing layer and points.
What am I doing wrong? What is going wrong all other bones have no problems binding.

Try this:
1. Select all the bones.
2. Select the vector layer and select all the points.
3. Select the menu command Bone>Flexi-Bind Points.

This *should* restore the default binding. If so, use selected bones for flexi-binding should now work.

@synthsin75 : Problem solved. Thank you I am very grateful.
What caused the problem if you don't mind me asking.
I'd like to know what I did that caused the problem so I can avoid it in the future.
Thank you for your help.

Maybe you accidentally did release layer and points earlier?

Alternatively, select the layer or layers that you're having trouble with and then select Reset All Bone Rigging. This will reset the selected layers to the default Flexi-bind state so you can predictably proceed with the binding technique you want to use.

This method won't show you what went wrong in your rig but it should get you going again quickly.

In case the command name Reset All Bone Rigging sounds a little scary, this command affects only the selected layers. However, if you don't select any layers, then this command WILL reset ALL bone rigging, so be sure to select the problem layers first.

One more troubleshooting tip to keep in mind:

This kind of thing can also happen when the art is using Flexi-bind but the bone strength is unintentionally set to 0.

Sometimes this can happen to me when I'm using Layer Bind or Point Binding, and I decide to set the bone strengths to zero because I don't really need it, and then I forgot I did that. Then, if the layers are reset, the bones won't have any effect on them

In this case, Reset All Rigging won't fix the problem because it doesn't reset bone strength to its default value of 1.0, and the bone strengths will need to be set manually.

Obviously, this didn't happen in your case so FYI for the future.

@Greenlaw : Thank you. always nice to hear from you.
I have made the bone strength mistake before so I look for that right away but aways good to be reminded. also for others who may read this thread in the future it will be good information. I thank you.
Thanks for the reset all bone rigging tip.
