Marvin, >> I'm having trouble skinning a spine bone from Viewpoint, << as it clearly states in the docs and advertising (probably more than once) you can only skin objects created in the 3d lofter. I don't think a Viewpoint spine would fall into this group. If you want to put a skin around it you'd have to create a new object to wrap around it. Use the view/background capability (front/left/top views) to create deform/fit shapes – that would be the best way to proceed, I think. At least, without more knowledge of what you are trying to accomplish.
