Hi. I've been making poses since sims 3 and been using Blender the entire time. However, I got a little crazy cleaning up what I thought was junk on my computer and had to wind up re-downloading Blender because I deleted the wrong one. (I think.) Now, I have none of the dotted lines that are supposed to be between the joints. Anyway, I've checked everywhere for literal hours trying to find the answer. I thought I'd gotten it, but the " answer" was to click a joint and have the lines show up. I click joints. No lines. I'm sure it's something simple like a setting in Blender (I've tried randomly hitting keys and going all over the settings and user preferences in Blender). I hate to be a bother. How can I fix this so that it's easier to see which rig I'm using (for multiple rigs in one pose)? (and doing fingers without the lines I'm used to having is a nightmare)  |

When you export the file from Sims 4 Studio it has all the needed setup. If something is not working properly I suspect that it's Blender not vibing with drivers. You should see the lines if you right click on the joint. This is the way the file is set up when exported with the help of Studio.

What happens if you unfold the rig in the outliner and click on pose? Do the lines show up then?

What happens if you unfold the rig in the outliner and click on pose? Do the lines show up then? Thank you both for trying to help. I've tried exporting new blank pose files, even deleting my old ones just to be sure. I'm using the same drivers as before, and the lines were there before. Right-clicking on a joint doesn't show the lines, as shown on the above pic. :/ I've tried unfolding in outliner and clicking on everything there is to click on. Nothing works (discovered some things I never knew were there, but that's a different story). I also tried deleting and re-installing blender (2.76 btw it's the only one I can get to work on my Mac). I also took my MacBook down to my Windows desktop to check the Blender settings (I use 2.78c on desktop I think). All the settings are the same (as much the same as two different versions can be). The only clue I have here is when I first started it back up on my MacBook, I had to rework the 'simulate numpad' thing, but the first thing I'd done was to go into preferences and re-assign the 'numpad .' to just '.' so that I could zoom in and re-orient yada yada. I then saw the rather-convenient box to check to just simulate the whole numpad, so I went back in and restored that setting I went in and changed. It was after that, when I started actually trying to make a pose, that I noticed the lines are gone. (Edit: Am now recalling that the first-first thing I wanted to do was make it so that pressing '5' would make the screen go 2D instead of the 5th layer. I'd panicked for about 2 minutes going back and forth (even restarted Blender a couple of times) before I remembered that it's set to do that with the 'numpad 5'.) I really feel it has to be that I screwed something up in my Blender settings, but after 5 hours of screaming and pulling my hair out (only slight exaggeration), I finally gave up and am trying to live without them. If anyone knows wth I might've done, I would be SO GRATEFUL to fix this bleeding thing. |

Were you ever able to figure out why the lines weren’t showing. I’m on a Mac as well and the lines have never showed for me since I’ve had it installed. I even have the show relationship lines selected. |
