Hello. Thank you for watching.
Could you tell me how I can extrude a bone in a straight line?
I want it to be so because the direction of the bend in edit mode decides which direction the bone bends in pose mode. so if there is a bend here, that would disturb the bend of the leg in pose mode a little.
Select the upper leg bone in edit mode.
Adapt its transform orientation (Shift-Alt-Spacebar).
Now extrude in the bone’s y-axis.
for switching between Transform orientations, either press Alt-Spacebar, or click the dropdown in the N-panel / ‘Transform Orientation’ tab.
Alternatively you could extend the upper leg bone down to the foot ancle, then subdivide it (W-menu)
Sorry, Edit:
Its Ctr-Alt-Spacebar, not Shift-…
Wooooow!! that’s veeeeery great! I didn’t know that! Why do you know that even though nobody know thaaaaat!
Thank you very much:D
