bank handle let you set the correct pitch angle.

try to always draw your skelegon from the TOP view, than move, rotate, scale it to fit your model in any viewport.

yeah, I also use this trick.
But Sometimes the pitch doesn't face the right direction at all even I draw all the bone on top view....I don't know why. I have to use trial and error method by adjusting the bank handle to other direction and then go to layout to see whether the pitch direction is correct or not.

It would be great if I know the clear relationship between bank handle and the pitch direction, so that I can avoid those tedious works.

let assume we draw all the bone in the Top view.

- if you draw it from bottom to top, the pitch will be align with the Z axis.

- if you draw it from left to right (or reverse), the pitch will be align with X axis

I'v always avoid adjusting the pitch using bank handle, it tend to mess up the rotation.

also, do you use the "Record Pivot Rotation" in Layout ? I recommend you use it after all the bone's position and rotation have been finalize before setting up IK.

hope this help.
