Im sorry to come post here again with my problems but i have been doing a character model and i am at the point where i am rigging him.

I have been following a tutorial intended for a Joan of Arc model but have made my own guy. same basic structure.

well anywho, i have my main body sectioned off and the knee is an individual mesh. i want to post a pic but cant seem to figure out how. (sorry >_<!)

The tutorial states to select the mesh that i want to skin and then shift select the 2 joints that will be affecting that mesh.

but when i do select the joints, it selects all of the joints from what i selected down. I selected the knee and it selected the entire foot. Is there a way to select one individual joint w/o going down the hierarchy?

thank you for looking at this, and if someone can tell me how to post pics i will! thank you!
