I have a bone that’s rotated 180 degrees on the y axis from where it’s supposed to be. I wish I could simply press a button to unlock the axis, rotate the axis 180 degrees without physically rotating the bone and be done with it.

Unfortunately, I’m trying to figure this out and the only results are people talking about going into edit mode, selecting all the vertices and then rotating them. That’s great and all BUT I’M TRYING TO ROTATE A BONE not a mesh. Bones don’t have vertices so this won’t work. I really really really don’t want to delete the bone, make a new one and re-weight it, so how tf do I do this? I used autodesk 3ds max in like 2007 and the button to do this was front and center and one of the few things I actually knew how to do.

    There is.

    I’m not sure what the hotkey is since I rarely use the feature. But in your tool widget (top right of your canvas) there’s the option in there to effect only the origin, only the parent, etc… etc…
