# Fit Skeleton
```
/**
* 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
