Spines are used in CAT to connect two hubs together. Spines provide special features that speed up your workflow, enable sharing of animation data among a diverse range of rigs, and allow sophisticated IK tools.

Select a hub to which to attach the spine.
Do either of the following:
- On the Modify panel Hub Setup rollout, click the Add Spine button.
- In the viewport, right-click the hub and from the lower-left quadrant of the quad menu, choose Add Spine.
