Can't select humanoidRootPart on the animation editor?

Hello, so recently I made a viewmodel for my game it works perfectly it’s animatable but I can’t select the humanoidRootPart. The part is not locked How do I fix this?
Here is the structure of my viewmodel:

Is the ViewModel’s PrimaryPart property set to HumanoidRootPart?

  • How about Anchored property set to false?
  • Is HumanoidRootPart supposed to be animatable?

Yes it is the primarypart of the vuewmodel and the anchor proprety is set to false and it is supposed to be animatable.

Root parts are meant to hold the rig together, it should not be animatable. I prefer to use the Torso instead.

If you have problems with your rig, I recommend trying:

  • Rig Editor by goro7 - Roblox to see how the rig looks and make edits.
  • Or use a new Rig since it has no problems (assuming you are using R6 or R15).

In summary, Root parts are not meant to be animated. You should be fine if the Root part is the PrimaryPart of the ViewModel.

Let me know if this helps!
