Custom shapes keep dissapearing after being assigned to bone I created a rig for a model I found on blendswap to get some rigging practice. But when I try to change the pole targets to a custom shape the bone disappears but the name stays there. And then when i check hide the name disappears. How can i assign this custom shape without it disappearing? the custom shape is called PoleTarget. Here is my blendfile The custom bone shape does not show up even in object mode.
I got this working by converting the curve to mesh with Alt-C. The custom shape on the bone then became available.
