Hello CreativeCrash Forum- Quick Question

[mawgilbert]

Hello everyone. I have a quick question regarding character rigging in Maya 2011. I'm pretty new to the software, and this is my first attempt at rigging a model, but I'm running into a problem that has me stumped.

I have the joints and IK Handlers set up inside of my model, but when I try to Bind the skin, I get an error message

// Error: Bind-able objects must be selected.

I'm not sure what I should do from here. I have all the joints and my model selected when I try to skin it, but that message continues to show up.

I really appreciate any and all feed concerning my dilemma, as it will be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you delete the history on your object, then first select the root of the joint hierarchy and then shift select the object and smooth skin bind it.

For mos tthings (except parenting) the selection order is important, you first select the source, and then the target.
