 Now it’s time to add a {{l|Skeleton Layer}} that will provide the bones we need to rig the arm.

 Now that the {{l|Skeleton Layer}} is in place we have to attach the bones to the parts of the arm.

	In this tutorial we are going to rig an arm with fixed joints using the {{l\|Skeleton Layer}} and three bones. The arm consists of three parts: the '''upperArm''', the '''lowerArm''' and the '''hand'''. (pic.1) Each part is grouped in its own layer and the three groups are again grouped in a layer that is called '''arm''' (pic.2).

 Now it’s time to add a {{l|Skeleton Layer}} that will provide the bones we need to rig the arm.
 Right-click on any layer in the {{l|Layers Panel}} and choose {{c|<New Layer>|<Other>|<Skeleton>}}. A new {{l|Skeleton Layer}} (pic. 7) will appear in the {{l|Layers Panel}} alongside with a small bone in the canvas (pic.6). Put the {{l|Skeleton Layer}} above the '''arm''' group if it is not already there. The green vertex above the blue vertex of the bone is used to move the bone in place and is also its centre of rotation. The blue vertex is used to rotate the bone. The green vertex under the blue one is used to stretch the bone. The first bone is the parent bone and should be moved toward the shoulder and stretched so that it almost reaches the outlines of the first crosshair of the elbow. Right-click on any of the vertices of the parent bone and select {{Literal|Create Child Bone}}. Move the rotation point of the child bone so that it matches the crosshair of the elbow and stretch it until it almost reaches the crosshair of the wrist. Right click on any of the vertices of the child bone and create another child bone. Move the centre of the second child bone so that it matches the crosshair of the wrist (pic.8). Stretch the bone until it reaches the end of the fingers.
