Hello u all. Is there a way to show the local axis of only selected bones, in edit or pose modes?

Thanks,
Luis Aguiar

Not on selected bones that I know of - only on all bones in the armature:

You can of course hide all bar the selected bones in Edit Mode… Or put bones on different bone layers, etc.

Cheers, Clock.

If you are talking about the widget, just switch your orientation from global to normal. Otherwise simply enable axes display under your armature.

i mean the white arrows with the axis, not the transform gizmo. thanks anyway. And by the way, i just don’t think it makes sense to sow it at the tip: should be on the root, where the rotation happens in pose mode.

Cheers, Luis

You mentioned hiding all the bones in edit mode. Is there a way to do this in Object mode?

This is what bone layers are for. See my friend clockmender’s post about bone layers.
