APEX autorig components not finding tags June 20, 2025, 6:58 a.m.

Hi, it looks like you are using the Base.skel as your source in the fktransforms component. The fktransform component, uses the skeleton to create the transformObjects in the rig, ie xform, properties, and tags.

You currently are setting all your tags up on the Guides.skel, so in order for apex to fetch the tags from the skeleton
set your source to Guides.skel

This should fix it.
