Hi Marfa,
Dwayne is correct in the above response.
The important thing is that the target of the constraint cannot be a child of the owner of the constraint.
It’s kind of like trying to take your socks off when you’re still wearing your shoes. You can kind of do it, but something’s gonna break.
So to avoid this, the target (the _out bone) will need to be parented to the Top control. And the stretchy bone must have the handle_out manually set to the this _out bone.
In that case – the result will be the same.
Don’t forget there are many different solutions that will do the same thing.
What’s the best? The easiest/fastest way that is consistent where the same problem exists (there’s way less cognitive load that way)
