rigging an alien/blender cookie tutorial

Hi i require your help please.

In the tutorial it shows the ik hand being scaled bigger, how to i do this?

So you do not need to watch the video, i need to know how to scale a bone bigger.

When i try the bone just gets longer or shorter, i need the new bone to envelope the hand bone in my case.

If you would be kind enough to help.

Thanks

im sure someone may answer, but you might also get a quicker answer if you go to the help desk tab at top right hand corner of blendercookie, and ask them

You probably mean Ctrl+Alt+S to scale a b-bone

Thank you that is the answer
