Broken Auto Weighting Bind?

Hi,

For some reason, the auto weighting option both in the Bind Command and in Weight Manager does not work. All of the joints are given with a blank weighting

You can see an illustration video here (it’s a bit long 30 sec):

Kindly ignore the thread. I found the solution.
The joints need to be in a chain for the auto weighting to take effect.

Ben,

In the Weight Manager, select all (or no) joints, and all joints that are inside of the list will be auto-weighted, as long as the
Weight Manager> Auto Weight>Allow Null Length option is enabled.

All the best
