resizing bones with IK handles

Is it possible to resize bones when you have already applied IK handles to them?

Hmmm... This is one of the major no-no's in rigging. You should never resize anything after you have created the initial skeleton. It causes a LOT of problems down the road.

If it's not bound to a mesh, I guess you could try it. If not, just delete the IK handle, resize, or re create the bones, and then reattach the ik handles.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
