Create Null from Paths – only working with closed Paths?
hi all,
i want to parent a hand to an “arm” which is just a shape path in AE. the path has 3 points: shoulder, elbow and wrist. i want to parent an illustrator layer (hand) to the last point of the path (wrist).
when i select the path and click the “create nulls from paths” script i get an alert “error: no paths selected”.
does this script only work with joined paths eg. a rectangle?
is there an other solution for my problem?
thank you!

hi
Be sure that u selected (PATH) under (Path1) under (shape1)
but in your case i see that better to use duik bassel plugin or rubber hose plugin, its better for rigging characters
duik for cut out illustrations characters
rubber hose for strokes characters -
Hey Isa, I’ve had similar troubles with elipses and rectangles. Try right click>Convert to Bezier Path. Should be recognised as a path then.
Duik Bassel and RubberHose2 are good go-to’s for light-medium duty rigs, so unless you’re creating a really robust rig I’d do as above poster mentioned and look at those as options.
