A Rigby2D add-on for moving around a rig quickly.

Tools

In the Scripts menu:

  • Select chain: adds every bone below the selected bones to the selection. Select the shoulder, run it, and the whole arm is selected, ready to key.
  • Select parent: moves the selection up one level.
  • Select siblings: selects the bones that share a parent with the selected ones (all the fingers of a hand, for example).

They only change the selection, never the rig.

Install

In Rigby2D, Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ Add-ons ▸ Get add-ons, search for Hierarchy select and choose Install. Or download it from rigby2d.com/addons.
