The skin plug-in has built into it a concept of a root vertex, or a vertex from which
the object flows out. If this root is not set properly, it can cause problems, particularly
with symmetrical objects, such as the mirrored skeleton. This is why the feet are not
uniform. The root vertex is the one with a circle around it, in this case the foot. As a
general rule it is a good idea to be aware of the root and choose a central vertex for it.
