Yes, the next available limb on your loaded object isn't limb 1. I'd guess that your object has multiple limbs already.

Yes, just loop through your checklist value a recording the highest number you find. Then add 1 to get the next free limb.

Alternatively (and people should be expecting this by now), you could take a look at my plug-ins, particularly plug-in 12. That contains many new commands and functions for dealing with limbs that makes the whole issue go away. Take a look at the APPEND LIMB functions/commands.

It does not like the space in limb count try limbcount or limb_count.

... or you can use APPEND LIMB and not worry about the next available limb number.
