What is the default bone? What is the patriarch bone?
I had the same problem, until I rang Jeff and got the answer. There is no default patriarch bone anymore (changed about 5.25d perhaps?). Its up to you to stick a patriarch bone in. As Jeff Lew mentioned in a previous post, its best to create a top-level patriarch bone and not assigned any control points to, then create a pelvis bone that is linked (but not attached) to the patriarch bone. This way you can roll your model around without getting any unwanted funkiness. There still is a default bone in the object that shows up in the Bones window when you click the name of the model in the Project Workspace, but that is just for size and positioning, you can’t apply any cps to it (at least I couldn’t).
