Hi,
You have to copy Skelegons to same layer with skin in modeler. Check only that layer visible. Send to layout. In LW 8 Setup/ Add/ Cvt Skelegons Converts Skelegons to bones.

Bones are on by default. If you want to use weights you must make Weight Maps.



When you make skelegon in Modeler Pitch is aligned to the current viewport.

Think that the Bank is most important one as its alignement defines childbones HPB alignment, like Child Bones heading is connected to parents bank.
