Hi, when ever I select joint 1 it selects all the joints

[@90swil]

[@MHTutorials3D]

Wil Hughes Yes, I will

[@kalackninja]

sorry to bother you but i need to know how to change the view distance and i just cant remember it/found a solution onile

[@MHTutorials3D]

kalackninja Hi there, what do you mean by view distance ?

[@kalackninja]

Mike Hermes when you model things too large or you just get too far away from the models they start to disappear and fade into the background. We went over how to change this in class but this was only once and a while ago. It's probably not called view distance in maya but that's what its's called in a few other things, so i hope that clarified it a little.

[@MHTutorials3D]

kalackninja Hi there, Try to change your grid scale or make your model smaller, that should solve the problem Mike

[@rafatalmehdi]

thanxx

[@kraizer2484]

Hi Mike! I have a problem about my 'Control rigs', I have deleted their history and Froze their transformation, and whenever I use Reset Transformation their Pivot point goes to (0,0,0) of the grid, and not on the (0,0,0) where I froze them.

[@MHTutorials3D]

I think this question was answered in my forum, yes ?

[@kraizer2484]

Mike Hermes. ahh yes. I commented here first then I went to the forum. Sorry that I didn't deleted this after.
