Additional Info:

  2. Entire arm bone hierarchy must selected before running the script.
  3. Arm bone hierarchy must start with and include a clavicle bone. 
  4. Arm bones hierarchy must be created from top view. 
  5. There must be a slight angle between upper arm and lower arm so that ik system works correctly.
  6.  Hand rig is not yet implemented, maybe in future versions. 
  7. Two different arm systems included as max file. 
  8. Open one of sample files and double click clavicle bone and run the script
