        Hi @hrishi ,

        Did you do the following?

        Select the Armature, go into Pose Mode, SHIFT+Select the Tube and then switch to Weight Paint Mode.

        Also make sure that you have Parented correctly and that Edit > Lock Object Modes is disabled.

        That’s all I can think of at the moment (but I am not a Rigger).

          Thank you. Martin.

          I have done all steps that you mentioned. I found what the issue. In weight paint mode. G shortcut is not work. I need to go and select move tool from tools with the help of mouse then I can select bones and animate / move it. 

          Thank you for support.

            Hi @hrishi ,

            When you have a Bone chain, none of the Children can be Moved in Pose Mode:

            Only the great-granddad can Move the other Bones can only Rotate.

            So it has nothing to do with being in Weight Paint Mode.
