... So, the consensus seems to be: everything in one layer with separately rotating pieces (e.g: eyeballs) controlled by weight mapped bones is the way to go. ...
... ??? I'm a little confused, Larry: so you DO advocate having eyes as separate layers, versus having everything in one layer and controlled by weight mapped...
OMG, in a mis-placed attempt to not confuse myself when dealing with beginning LW students I'd been using the default key assignments. Well, I haven't taught...
So, is it NOT possible to parent in the "new-ish" Scene Editor?? (I always find myself going back to the original SE for most tasks. It is vexing. Forsooth!)...
'tis! click once to select and click and drag to the desired parent item. it's just a little trickier to get a hang of it but its easy ... -- Alex Lee ...
... Dang, I'm NOT getting the hang of it....I just get a (very smooth) multiple selection, but no drag bar. {brk} It IS easy to UNparent stuff, piece of cake....
I've uploaded an image of this situation- it's in the Files area under the "Jeric's Pix" folder, "bone twist issue.jpg". I'm attempting to fix a gimble-lock...
Looking ahead to when my rabbit is fully ::cough:: boned, I'm thinking about the secondary animation of the ears. Is the customary way to achieve this by using...

Hey Larry, Setting pivot points in LW is an interesting endeavour indeed. Personally I have found that it does work in either Modeller and layout. However, if...
