[Bf-committers] [Bf-animsys] Armature Symmetrize & Bone Roll / custom shape

[Daniel Salazar - patazstudio.com]

Can you try NOT using symmetrize but instead, making sure the names are
symmetric (.L and .R extensions) and that x-axis mirror is enabled, select
only the bones in the left and do a Ctrl+R for roll angle, press 0 and then
enter. Does that work any better?
