Unable to view Weights property of Mesh in a Skin outside Active Skin

skarasuko

Encountered another workflow issue with Welding. It seems like I'm unable to get access to the Weights property of another Skin while I'm on a different Skin. This makes Welding new Meshes inconvenient, as I currently need to swap to the reference Mesh's Skin to copy its Bone Bindings and then swap to the target Mesh's Skin.

After checking "Show all skin attachments", and then selecting the mesh in a different Skin, it would be nice to access its Weights property for copying Bone Bindings.

skarasuko Based on my own testing using Spine 4.2, Weld worked even on inactive skins. Here's a video showing the steps when I tried it:

Could you please check to see if there was any kind of operational error? Or, if it cannot be done under specific conditions, please explain in detail why that is the case.

Misaki Actually, I'm aware Weld works on meshes in inactive Skins. The issue is the early workflow with new Meshes, which is copying the Bone Bindings. The Weights view's contents is empty when selecting the Mesh of the inactive Skin in the Tree.

Which is why it requires switching Skins 2 times before Welding.

skarasuko Hmm, I understand it can be inconvenient when you want to copy a list of bones bound to meshes belonging to other skins. However, I think the current specification has the advantage of clearly indicating that the mesh is not included in the active skin. I'll discuss this a bit within the Spine team.
