Re: Scaling bones.. ( REQUEST: volumetric scale option on length property)

[Adam Sale <adamsale(at)shaw.ca>]

the problem I have with animating bone length, is that it doesn't keep 
volume, so inevitably you need to tie in an expression or scripted op to the 
Y Z scale. It would be very nice to have this feature as an option in a 
future upgrade
