I have rigged a character with Rigify. I would like to adjust some bone positions (edit the armature). The documentation states I can adjust the metarig and then again press Generate Rig. The default action should overwrite the existing rig. I have also tried enabling 'Advanced Options' and selecting the current rig (https://en.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Rigging/Rigify#Advanced_Rig_Generation)
However, 'Generate Rig' gives the following error:
Incorrect armature for type 'utils'
Can't add new bone 'root' outside of edit mode.
I only found 1 answer, stating to rename the existing 'rig'. But this will generate a new rig, unparented to the mesh and with no weight painting.
How can I adjust/overwrite an existing rig?
Thanks in advance!
