The controls are all messed up but even when i do somehow get the correct combonation to rotate the bone it doesn’t move at all!
Hi @The_Wr13r, welcome to the forums! 
A screenshot or video would be most helpful here, we’d like to better understand what “messed up” means so we can help you address it. Could you provide a series of steps we can perform to reproduce what you are seeing?
E.g.
- New scene
- Assign Marker to default cube
- Enter Manipulator
- Press …
- And then …
Well i loaded the Manakin blender fire, and followed the blender tutorial until i got to the part where you edit the shapes of the markers. Once i reached the part where you have to rotate, the marker stays still and doesn’t move.
Furthermore the controls are messed up, so instead of having to press CTRL + Middle Mouse Button like it tells me to, the control only activates when i press CTRL + SHIFT + Right Mouse Button, but it STILL doesn’t rotate.
Hi @The_Wr13r 
Thank you for your patient! If I understand your situation correctly, possibly because the GUI hint is confusing.
This is the correct hotkey for tweaking marker shape in Blender.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Translate | Ctrl + LMB |
| Scale | Ctrl + Shift + LMB |
| Rotate | Ctrl + Alt + LMB |
And here is the document that shows them.
Another case is that if a marker is set to mesh shape, like image below, then it can not be transformed.
Hope these help!
