/**
 * Node that fits a skeleton to a deformed mesh.
 * 
 * Adjusts bone positions and orientations to match
 * the modified mesh geometry, useful after mesh fitting.
 * 
 * Usage:
 * 1. Connect original mesh and deformed mesh
 * 2. Configure start/end bones and options
 * 3. Click Apply to fit skeleton

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.meshmorpher.com/graph/skeleton/fit-skeleton.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
