 Then using the same bone with the bone constraint select the **Armature** as **Pole**  and the **Pole bone** as **Bone**.
 For a leg, the pole would typically be in front of the knee (facing the leg) while for an arm, the pole would typically be behind the elbow.
+Set the **Chain Length** to the number of bones the pole should affect (or else the entire rig will be affected), and adjust the **Pole Angle** to straighten the armature back to desired orientation.
+=== Example ===

+=== Symmetrize ===
+To symmetrize a modification to the other side of the rig, make sure the corresponding bones are present and the following nomenclature is respected : ''bone name.L'' and ''bone name.R'' with identical names for both sides.
+Then in **Edit** mode, right click on the rig and select **Symmetrize**.
+It is also a good idea when modifying the rig's position in **Edit mode** to activate a **Mirror** to copy modifications made on one side automatically to the other side.
