frustrating indirect skinning problem

[lipuster2]

HELP ME PLEASE!! I AM STUCK!!!

i have applied a lattice deformer to some cvs of my character(say cv 1 to 10)
and i have smooth skinned the lattice to my skeleton.

Now when i try to smooth skin the remaining cvs (say cv 11 to 20) directly to the skeleton, maya gives the following error.

ERROR: SKIN CLUSTER DOES NOT DEFORM THE SELECTED COMPONENTS.

I am totally clueless what to do.Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase somebody help me!!!!!

Try and do this first apply the lattice to 1-10 cv, then skin 11-20 and then skin the lattice. this should work

can u giuve some details?? have u skinned with selected joints???? do not select CVs and the skeleton to skin. do select the entire geometry and skin it first and then 0 out the CVs from component editor.

Did u bind the mesh to the joints directly as well?

hey guys,
thank u so muh for the answers.I got my solution though.I did it the other way round,i.e, i first skinned the required vertices directly and then i skinned the lattice..and it workd fine!!thanks again.
sorry for the trouble guys.
