Quote - I managed to fix the arms and legs scaling using that method, it's fantastic.  However, I saw no actual parameters being changed in either the Joint Editor palette or the Parameters palette.  So my first question is, what exactly am I changing when I grab and stretch/compress that little line?  Is there anywhere I can see that parameter and adjust it manually?  When the joints are set up, is that an automatic joint parameter like twist/bend/side-side, or can I set up another one, like necksmooZ?

Go back into the Joint Editor, after changing. You should see a different bottom start value
