This script will help you place a bone directly in the center of a mesh using edge loops and clusters.
- Copy the text below and paste it into your Maya Script Editor

​// This script will mark the center of an edge loop, by placing a cluster in it. 

// Simple to use, select your edge loop and run the script 

ConvertSelectionToVertices;
selectType -ocm -alc false;selectType -ocm -polymeshVertex true;
newCluster " -envelope 1";
