Role change

Today my role was changed from doing the rooms to doing the model man. This is because my group member was getting frustrated and felt that it would be good to do something different. So he left off from where I did and added his touches to the rooms and I tried to see if I could solve his problem. We also did this as we felt it would allow us to gain more experience in different areas of Max
The character arms were for some reason blacked out.

I went through the process of cloning one arm and boning it again, but found that the same thing was happening. Carried on and finally decide to delete all the bones and start from scratch and now the arms were showing up perfectly fine when I loaded up the file again.

Before I had solved this I tried creating new arms by extruding from the body and using the bevel tool too. I’ve used the extrude tool before but had never known what the bevel tools does but now I do.
