Creating a custom character Issue

[MiiniStar]

Hello! I'm currently trying to make a custom character (with a custom voicetable), and for the first bit of the process I've been following github's custom character tutorial. I believe I've followed each instruction in the rigging process to a T, yet I'm still unable to export the armature geolayout or the object geolayout for some reason. Could anyone with experience creating custom character models give some advice--or perhaps an easier method?

What error or issue are you getting?

The issue I'm getting is that whenever I try to export, it say something along the line of "cannot export because armature doesnt have any mesh children or has a non mesh child

I did make a quick tweet about it here

You probably have the mesh unparented to the armature you're trying to export. Happens when you join mario's model to your model (it's the other way around, you select your model then mario while holding shift and press ctrl J)
