Error after build

Forgive me but I’m just trying out mgear.
I keep getting this error after I build the biped guide:

// Error: root : Uncaught exception

Hi @Ross_Daniel

is this the default biped template ?

I can reproduce the error.

Can you try to comment out the line 601 and 602 from this file: C:/Users/jodana/Downloads/ROSS/RIGS_SCRIPTS/2.SCRIPTS/mgear_3.0.3/scripts/mgear/shifter_classic_components\leg_2jnt_01_init_.py

I deleted my preferences and installed from scratch. Everything seems to work now.

I used to get the same error only in Maya 2018 and the rest of my team didn’t. I’m not sure what hot key I pressed, but deleting my preferences fixed the problem as well.
