Hi,
Does any one know how I can find shoulder/elbow/wrist joints? the skeleton from his arms has become invisible. I cant work out how to make them show again. I've been locking and hiding nodes and attributes but for these joints the visibility in the channel box is on. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jo

forgive me if this sounds too obvious, but are they in any layers, if they are unhide your layers

If there there in the outliner and not in the viewport, have you tried to go to show all (cant remember off the top of my head where it is though!)

Hmm, I tried everything to make them show. In the channel box it was showing that visibility was on but in the attribute editor under display it was off!

Thank you for your help
