How to fix bone heat weighting?
This could be solved by fixing the mesh topology, like connecting the intersecting meshes into one single mesh and by fixing your model to avoid the intersecting areas. When the object has duplicate vertices. This can be solved by removing doubles in Edit Mode ( keyboard shortcut “W” -> Remove Doubles)
How are weights assigned to bones?
How do I set “Automatic Weight” to a single bone?
- select the skeleton.
- go to pose mode.
- select the bone(s)
- shift select the mesh.
- go to weight paint mode.
- space > weight from bones.
How to overcome the problem of bone heat weighting?
Delete the vertices and Parent > Armature Deform with automatic weights will work. (Click to enlarge.) The last 2 points are the best ways to overcome the problem. If none of it works, just increase degrees on the decimate up to point where armature deform will succeed. Then you can find optimal decimation to lose as less data as possible.

How to find non manifold geometry in bone heat weighting?
Since it works with the decimate modifier applied, we know it must be a topology error. As batFINGER suggested you can find non manifold geometry with Select Non Manifold operation ( Ctrl + Alt Shift + M ). This will select the the non manifold geometry. There is non manifold geometry in the tip of the tail.
Why does bone heat not work on armature?
So when I try to parent my model to my armature it gets the bone heat error message, but before I applied the mirror modifier it worked, although the bones only work on the left side and the right side didn’t work at all.
